Cold water racing through the undertow

Oh lord my body's gonna burn below

It's gonna burn below

Had me a man who wasn't much like you

I'm gonna have me another

Before the night is through

Red magic whiskey is what my mama sells

and a snake for the charming

I think she knows you well

I think she knows you well

Petals and perfume

And a prayer for Saint Charles

I'm the queen of the ivory

I'm gonna be your baby doll

Some people talking

They say, I'm your Jezebel

I'm gonna eat up all your chocolate

And send you back to hell

I'll send you back to hell

Sixty dollar paycheck and life's a banjo

Everytime I pull a string

My mind starts to choke

And as good as I get is the worst I can be

You know there's always someone lurking there

Underneath the sheets

Do I feel lucky when my floorboards creak

I used to stand up straight 

Now I just lean

It don't mean anything, it don't mean anything

It doesn't mean a thing to me

So I drink my rum straight but he doesn't mind

When the room starts to move

I can always hang on

I can trace the blur with a litle backwash high

I can trace the blur that rattles my insides

Do you feel cheap when I start to get mean?

I used to stand up straight 

Now I just Lean

It don't mean anything, It don't mean anything

It doesn't mean a thing to me

And you put your hand down on my head

Like the magic's gonna come and float me on out of here

You know I can't stand the way you stare

Like the ground's gonna open up 

And swallow me

I ain't that shaky babe, I ain't gonna break

I know why you sleep with the light on

I know why you call me insane

I know why your tongue is getting tired

I know why you're always afraid

Oh merciful lord

I know why we're all alone

You think I'm not easily trusted

You think I like getting roughed up

But baby, maybe I make you nervous

'Cause I see things right beneath the surface

Oh merciful lord

I know why we're all alone

It's late and we're up chasing the quiet

and you shaved your head so you don't feel old

I think we might belong together

But I can't bear to go back home

Can't you see?

I know you feel the cold conform you

I know your wife and kids abhor you

You slide barefoot on the wet lawn

Looking for your car keys and your cellphone

Oh merciful lord

I know why we're all alone

I can bury my heart in a bottle

Or I can bury my head in the sand

I can rest my bones on the back of Forgiveness

And never feign to understand

How still is the night that returns to me

How still is your soul that's drowning in my sea

And there's nothing I can do

When it comes to the ghost of you

I can run on for long time

I can run 'til my days are through

I can meet you at the gate

Where they decide our fate

But still I might run from the truth

How cold is the night that returns to me

How cold is your soul that's drowning in my sea

And there's nothing I can do

When it comes to the ghost of you

Painful pictures in my bedroom drawer

Staring back at me, through the debris

Tell me, what are you here for?

I'm not your motherfucking lover

Like I'm anyone to you at all

I should have ripped them into pieces

The first time we fought

Painful, painful you're like a little boy

Picking up my spare change

Choking on my ashtray

Putting on your smokescreen voice

Pick up the phone, I know you're home

I hope you've locked your door

I should have known you couldn't run

The first time we fought

I'm sorry for living

I'm so sorry for breathing

I'm sick of your reasons

I'm sick of your weakness and I'm

I'm sorry I spilt my guts out on your floor

I should have known you couldn't run

The first time we fought

 Just like that, away it goes

You feel your lungs contract

Then you blow out the smoke

The brightest day, the constant hum

The burning fire

Of a star crossed love

He can steal the ink out of my blackest night

He floats like phosphenes

Behind my bloodshot eyes

But these words are thin

And I've grown so tired

No hallelujah, no glorious psalm

No hallelujah, he's just gone

A star song

Like robot code

The labyrinth of his mind

Begins to unfold

A mockingbird, an omen

New hope for a day

The boulevard's alive 

When you're looking for signs

Red pheonix fiery Valentine

I am drawing a bow

The curve of his smile

Bends cupid's arrow

Be mine, be mine, be mine

In unnbreakable asylum

I would stand by you

I would read out your numbers 

Like secrets of the moon

Ophelia and Marilyn

On the fringe of their sin

Would wake in black and white 

To begin again

I would rather the magi were real

And that you could say out loud  how you feel

Be mine, be mine, be mine

 These are the dog days, daddy crawl

This is my darkest hour, daddy crawl

You'll never save me from myself

My heart's a stone cold killer in my chest

Come on, show me what you need it for

Daddy crawl

There's a war inside me but you're lost

I've been sticking to the scratch line that you scrawled

And everything I thought i'd known

It has been shaken from my bones and tossed

Come on, I've forsaken everything I own

Daddy crawl

I tortured to the hand that wrestled my head

I clung to the words I'd probably never forget

I begged you for mercy with stains on my shoes

The vermillion is so hard to remove

You like all the pretty things

And you want what the morning brings

I promise to take you home

when everyone else is gone

And I will love you like no one

Is gonna love you

Until all are days are done

I smiled and held your hand

We dreamed of better days and bigger plans

Like wings in Spring and fairy tales

The moonlight through my window will never pale

Where I loved you like no one

Is going to love you

Until all our days are done

Through weary days, like sinking ships

you're sure as honey on my lips

Or velvet petals on my fingertips 

That never fall or fade away

I believe I saw you in a dream

And you spoke to me in Swahili

That's okay, I think I caught the meaning

I've been waiting for you far too long

In a long awaited moment

I dared to glance your way

but we found nothing in common

It's funny how things don't ever change

But you're my cosmic avenger

I'm your solar system baby

I got lost somewhere in outer space

But I might make it back someday

All my clothes were on the front lawn

My eyes too burnt to see

I fell asleep in the bushes

And I woke to find you staring back at me

Fly, fly, fly on

A little hope and we can leave it all behind

Maybe together we can race into the sunshine

And fly, fly on

I'm holding on

Lean into the wind and ride, ride, ride

And if you stumble I'll be right behind

So just hold on

Fly, fly, fly on

A little hope and we can leave it all behind

Maybe together we can race into the sunshine

And fly on

Don't cry, cry love

It's such a foolish thing to lose your worried mind

I'll be your Bonnie and you'll be all mine

Let's fly, fly on
