Lucky Strikes

You are a Lovechild

You like to feel your Midnights rise

If we could bottle your arrival we would

We know how to mark a good hide

That's just the way the Market goes

People like to sing. Eyes closed.

Tell us what you came for.

 

Since you're a woman,

You and I will have the Blues.

If we're throwing our secrets in a fire

Then what is there left to lose?

Its not everyday that Lady Luck gives smiles

Since that's the case,

we'll be here for a while.

 

I want to light a fire unto your crown,

So you can light the way into the shroud.

How am I supposed to see

Beyond my cigarette?

They call the place I live the Lost and Found.

I want to feel your Touch when you're around.

How about the dark,

A place to put your lights on?

 

Come tomorrow, not just anyone will do.

But you lie to yourself about the Promise.

Hoping it comes true.

Even cat callers agree its not the best.

Since the lights are out whose Patience will you test?

 

They call them Lucky Strikes,

But I still feel the same.

There were so many words

I desperately needed to change.

This is the story of how I opened up my arms

And built a Lighthouse on the rocks

Where everyone belongs.

 

So come one. Come all.

Come one. Come all.

Come one. Come all.

 

I mad. I'm in love.

When you faint,

I'm the glove

That will hold you.

Until the Nightmares give you up.
