AS CITIES BURN - Pirate Blues lyrics

rate me

Before you, your Mom and your Dad used to

smoke in the Texas sun.

They were young once too.

And your Mom, she found Jesus

while your old man stepped out

and drew up his veins.

It's quiet in the house of the old.

You can hear through grinding teeth,

clocks taking their toll.

'Cause time has a mind of its own

like our sun spinning around

it won't slow for you now.

Oh, I wanna catch in a song

notes I don't hear yet,

but I will when I am gone.

I've been pouring my heart up,

up through the floor boards

but you don't live here no more.

Oh, you wanna catch in a lens

color your green eyes don't see just yet.

The horsemen, they all blow out their torches.

I can see you still shining now.

You sleep in a bed for a giant

while you wait for your love to come home

but you don't know she's not coming back.

Oh, I wanna find out I'm wrong

and every road leads us home.

Oh, but I'll never know

'cause I keep my eyes closed

and only go where I've been before.

Oh, say you don't know if you don't.<br />

<br />
