The Gaslight Anthem - Selected Poems lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Honey bee, said I got too much sympathy

But I can call her any time

And if you're lost and you need a little peace from me

Bring all your trouble by

Honey bee, how have I hurt you?

Come on, tell your blues to me

Maybe I should live up there in the curtain

On the wings of Mercury

I was fortunate but desperate

Insomniac but innocent

I was living underneath my body weight

My eyes eyes were slowly green and hazy

Sick from greed and hate and envy

I was crawling up inside my head

(Chorus)

And all I seem to find is that

Everything is changed

And all this life just feels like a series of dreams

Selected poems and lovers I can't begin to name

And all in all, I find that nothing stays the same

(Verse 2)

And I was crazy like the moon for you

And head over my heels for you

And never would I change or compromise

But something in my mind does things I can't contain for anything

Last night I don't think sleep even touched my eyes

(Chorus)

And all I seem to find is that

Everything is changed

And all this life just feels like a series of dreams

Selected poems and lovers I can't begin to name

And all in all, I find that nothing stays the same
