Seven years ago
|
This old man said to me
|
Sittin' on his haunches
|
He's tellin' me to get a life
|
Now, money in a jar
|
Never got him far
|
But his story is heavier
|
Than you'll ever know
|
He said "live for me and die for me
|
And my miracles will set you free"
|
But I said no
|
I don't play that devils lie
|
Yea...set a road in the garden
|
Pulled the sword from the stone
|
And the water you're walkin' on
|
Has got me thinkin'
|
I've been all wrong
|
And I've been readin' the story
|
While I'm wastin' the years
|
And I've been runnin' with some bad brothers
|
That've been tryin' to rip my bloody tears
|
The stage was black
|
Lights we feared
|
Your limbs like a puppet
|
?These are scars of the years
|
It's a sexual feeling
|
It's the root that stresses your brain
|
Livin' on the threshold of evil
|
And you're tryin' to trip on morphine
|
On the corner of Phoenix
|
On the cross of gold bridge
|
Tryin' to change your life for the better
|
Gotta cross the bridge
|
I gotta cross the bridge
|
The stage was black
|
Lights we feared
|
Your limbs like a puppet
|
These are scars of the years
|
Tied in ropes to keep you home
|
Building walls to keep you away
|
|
cables connect
|
There's nails to mend
|
But what mends the heart
|
Where their children play
|
Set a road in the garden
|
Pulled the sword from the stone
|
And the water you're walkin' on
|
Has got me thinkin' I've been
|
Got me thinking' I've been
|
The stage was black
|
Lights we feared
|
Your limbs like a puppet
|
These are scars of the years
|
Tied in ropes to keep you home
|
Building walls to keep you away
|
Cables connect
|
There's nails to mend
|
But what mends the heart
|
Where their children play
|
Tied in ropes to keep you home
|
Building walls to keep you away
|
Caables connect
|
There's nails to mend
|
But what mends the heart
|
Where their children play
|
