I'm a light and I'm alive
And often dead
Said the lanterns flame
To the worn out flint
For crying out loud is not allowed
Too close to the flame
But you can watch it burn
All the same
Caroline she rarely shows her face
she's fallen leaves she's winters grace
Read books leather bound
Read words written down
We are wrote then we're written
Then read aloud
Caroline she rarely shows her face
she's fallen leaves she's winters grace
Caroline she rarely shows her face

Try to live with the consequences
Of a try buy living life through
Bored of coming to senseless
It's a sign of being done through
Let me out
if i had a gun would you pull my trigger
Punch drunk but centered
Could you walk lines rusted & chewed
And do you think you could have gone right through
The night until before you went and got yourself into Thinking
Drinking
Let me out
If i had a gun would you pull my trigger
Sometimes when I'm caught up
I go drain the rivers waters
So when all lies in the balance
I know i can wash to the sea
Lately's got me thinking
There's a pattern in the mixture
There's a devil on my shoulder
& I know that he blames me

Elephants

Just to feel the water
We could fill the well up with stones
Put skeletons in corners
Only when the summer sun is full glow
Yes I do know you and I could give you all what is left
But we fight like cat and dog & love like Elephants
I think it's best we just forget
Gotta keep the cold from your bones
Secrets that every body knows
You take a dose & you bloody the navel
For pipe dreams are made of things like this
But some dreams get buried in the season
You take the wild road & you heavy the burden
Just to feel the water
We could fill the well up with stones
Put skeletons in corners
Only when the summer sun is full glow
Yes I do know you and I could give you all what is left
But we fight like cat and dog & love like elephants
It's best we just forget
Yes I do know you and I could give you all what is left
But we fight like cat and dog & love like nothings left
I think it's best we just forget
Then come in she'll say & I'll help you to live a lot like me

Blackbird

Taken a long drive down out & away
& the cracks keep growing bigger
Around the hotel walls and the living room windows
Just out and about you know
Undelivered packaged & privileged
I'm taking in all the ruby rings
Respecting all the hundreds of things
It's all duly noted down
Its all cleaned and then mucked out
Is there dust on biscuits in Bombay?
I'm stoned and coasting down the mountain
Take care of your friends
A Blackbird is marooned & he cares not for flying
He's got crows feet & heavy shoes
Caught on a wire
But hey he can feel Can't you?
Making noise in the dead of night
Through the silence
Love will come as it does
As it comes
Painted walls & boarded up holes
Treasure troves and every stone
Taking pride in the winery
Until barely can we stand or even see
A Blackbird is marooned & he cares not for flying
He's got crows feet & heavy shoes
Caught on a wire
I'm a Blackbird I'm marooned & I care not for flying
I've got crows feet & heavy shoes
I'm Caught on a wire
But hey I can feel Can't you?

Dark Sides

Move with the tide
If you don't know how to love
Don't stay inside
Move with the tide
You think your tired
Well wait till you scrape the bottom of the barrel
There's a story to be told
And you can be the teller and i'll be the tale
You're a stranger stranger child
We all get strange sometime
But she could really talk to me
So i won't get stuck on all the dark sides of love
Her Love
When all the stupid things are said
Oh darling after we are done
I'm gonna run just like I used to
Oh just how long should we play dead
Oh Darling
With all the ghosts that are in my head
They're in my head haunting me
It's a cut throat razor life
We all take blame sometimes
One minute you've got the key
Saying you won't get stuck on all the dark sides of her love
You're a stranger stranger child
We all get strange sometime
But she could really talk to me
So i won't get stuck on all the dark sides of love
