So do you hear me
Knocking at your door
Screaming and wailing and crying myself hoarse
Oh I won't be following you
Down the river you'll drown in
Oh I won't be following you
Past those sinners you trespassed back there
You're no good for yourself
And as sure as hell
No good for anybody else
So go on and go
I've been getting a little tired of the same old thing
I suspect the same old things getting tired of me
So go on and go
Scrap your dreams of Albion
Fill your buckets with woe
Be me, help me to see
What you're missing
That glistening
Ray of dew drops
Only clear when the pill pops
Pops, you're still my one and only
Still my tops
Don't call the butcher hounds
Don't bring the cops
One more bop
One more and Ill be done
Just this last one and Ill be done
Just one time
With me, I beg you to come
But whether you fail or fly
I won't be here
I won't come
You're only the shell of the soul I once knew
Whether you fail or fly
To me you're never done
To me you're already gone

Those wolves when they cry
Bring the shepherds down hard
As the sun drifts away
You no longer feel it from afar
Oh keep your wits about you
Keep your fears at bay
This is no humdrum token
Nor a cloak you can rely on
To shield you from the gaze
Battle on lonely one
Burn brighter the further she flies away
Ever distant forever nearer
You're never as close to catching it as when you're so
Far away
And when that fear grips my heart
And sings soldiers from the sky
It's not good enough
That you have it a good enough ****** try
You were meant to aim for the mile high
Go for the landslide
Instead you waited and hesitated
Without a second glance
Your silvery laughter saw its chance
To up and pass you by

I say I got to leave now
And you say so long
So long
So long now
To this place I called home
For so long
So long now,
So long I say
To this place that I
That I
That I have called home
For so long
For so long, so long
So long I say
I say so long so long
To this place that I have called home
For so long I say
So long so long
I say so long so long
So long I say
I say so long
For now

In one fell swoop
You made everything right
In one fell swoop
You drove every hurt out
With one deep look, with one light touch
You took down everyone else
I had ever built up
Now all that's left is us
And I cannot believe my luck
You're my effervescent light
Extinguishing every past plight
You are stronger, dance better
Last longer, fly further
Kiss sweeter, sing brighter
You're a better lover, yet no fallen feather
Your gaze is deeper, your soul is richer
You're an avid listener, a better pleaser
You're no miser, nor a greaser
You're a wider reader and a soulful strummer
You're a drug I cannot decipher
You're a drug and all I wanna do is take you in
You're a drug and all I wanna do is take you higher

Whisper to me softly
Tell it to me straight
When the golden flakes, they break away
Those rainbow drizzles fade away
Into the hearth of our retreat
Can you still call yourself
A simple, humble man
Can you still face the consequence
You knew relied on fate
So breeze on by you gentle wind
Cast your oars aside
You're the travelling mans companion
A fortress of battalions
You're a shy and bashful champion
To ease a troubled mind

Can you believe me now
Do you see it clear
That the saints you hear
Are no longer near

Can you believe me now
That those sins out there
Will take you on your dare
And shake you full of fear

Can you believe me now
That the rain runs dry
Those trickles down your cheek
Weren't the ones that you cried

Can you believe me now
Or will you call me on a lie
Even if I crossed my heart
And hoped that I would die

You're a hard nailed woman
All those years etched into your face
No more qualms to erk your living
No more lies
You'll meet your saving grace

Lost your innocence
As soon as you greeted
Lost the will
To want it back
Now you sit here on a cool damp night
Waiting for a train to meet your track
And I wonder
What will become of you
This old woman
Eating someone else's trash
