The Pines - Rise Up And Be Lonely lyrics

rate me

Whose woods these are I think I know

they stole them when they found the gold

well a broken little treaty holds the proof

Now it's snowblind madness on the plains

I clamor for a purer strain

well you don't need many words to speak the truth

Rise up and be lonely

Where daisies burn and kisses fade

from lack of light in heart and mind

cold hymns explode and voodoo scenes erupt in time

I make my way in leaves and roots

I'm trembling in my travelin shoes

I don't believe, but I believe I'll dust my broom

Rise up and be lonely

Stripes on my shoulders, chains on my feet

all the money in the world is a lame retreat

from the shelter behind our eyes

Look now the sun hangs like a thief

over branches leaf to leaf

and I'm out walking

under corporate criminal skies

Rise up in the morning

Rise up and be lonely
