Third Prime Number

I've always wanted to fall in love with a satis

I'd set her high on a Trojan horse

And maybe the ranger ain't the death toll

He's off whistling a tune that sounds a little like silver bells

 

It's never my own words that I get caught up in

And like Brackett said it's the little things

But it's never come 'round right

But I'll be laced through your fingers in any time

 

I'm sizing up a rope and a steady beam

To put myself between the bullets of reality and dreams

Where the archer's pulling broadheads out of a scorpion's side

And the sheperd's purse smells just like a flatline

 

You used to hold your hands over your ears

So I whispered my devotion into your confusion

When I laid my head down on your *******

That's the first time I've ever heard my heart beat

 

And every time I look in backward angles

Your face bleeds into the corner of my eyes

And if worlds apart should be the death of Casanova

Then I'll go down with the ship whistling the color of your hair
