You were once a sweet little girl. So innocent and pure. Your eyes were open and sure. Anyone could look right in. . And I followed closely your gaze.
Seeing your face in every child that smiles. But I can't help but rejoice. And I have heard the song called 'Thunder'. But I knew it was your voice. .
[Verse 1]. You work like every nail sunk. Every floorboard laid. Is another deed erased. Another debt that's paid. Like every story you've erected's gonna raise you up.
I've got bills to pay, tax man on my tail. Just keep prayin' that the check's in the mail. There are times it seems every thing's lost. And I'm moaning, I'm tossed and I see.
When all we have are rags and bones. Just hold my hand and don't let go. . 'Cause though the night is cold, we'll carry the fire. And though there's no way home, we'll carry the fire.
I've been with Sally and I've been with Sue. I've been with Cindy and her sister too. Now I'm tryin' to settle down. Start a family with that cute little Kim.
I've got a feeling, it's hard to explain. Feels like the devil rents a room in my brain. The things I'm ashamed of feel like dear old St. Paul. The things that I wanna do, I don't do at all.
When the call hasn't come,. Let me sit with you and wait.. When the other kind does,. Let me help you bear the weight.. . Let me gather wood, when the fires gone out..
I've learned a thing or two. When it comes to livin' life. Everybody's got their own two cents. When it comes to givin' advice. But I remember what my old man told me.
Steam on the window where you draw those little hearts. On those nights we'd take the long way home and find a place to park. Remember makin' love on a spring break beach.
I'm runnin' tired, wearin' thin. I'm wearin' clothes that don't fit in. It's a never endin' week long laundry list. Stop and go, goin' crazy. Overtime, underpaid.
Yeah, I wanna go where the freaks go. Somewhere way down low. Yeah, I wanna be wasted, burnt down. Where the wick burns brightly. . Goodbye my friend.
See my heart I've traded in. Some new stranger dwells within. Crazy circles leading me back where I've been. . So I start over again, give until you give in.
In this place I'm a soul so hollow. In this mud with the pigs I wallow. . Friday when Sunday's gone. Tomorrow I'm leaving home. I don't need to beg or borrow.
The night is always young. Count the visions that you see. Violent blue and shocking green. Seek the course that must be run. Strip the image from the sun.
I take the life from the seed. I rectify the lost need. I am the one who can't sleep. You're the one who can't dream. . I'll fly away. Lost in the sun.
Your heart's as black as poison. Cold as ice through and through. You say you wouldn't hurt me. Not what you say it's what you do. . Where is my yesterday.
Follow the property line. Of the cold breath time. I've gone in to the sky. And I'll go up the land. . Weather was blazing. I've forgot to take sense.
Way down low with the pretty ones. Floating on beautiful pills. So lifelike it's becoming real. . Everything is alright. Life is but a dream. Everything is alright.
Lover, make her naked, still but nothing shows. No time no place, one will be as one does fake. No gift, no need, so you try to bring me down. A promise, a joke laughing on my suffering.
