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
