Saw you take it on the chin outside the Phoenix Motor Inn
|
You could always find a way to kill the bird and keep the flame
|
Somehow lighter on your feet, crossing the dark end of the street
|
Falling harder than a star cause you can hear the broken heart
|
Within the world, within the world
|
That ain't your soul, it won't sing along
|
|
Mission bugs out every night, they throw themselves into the light
|
Always waking from a dream of blowing up and burning clean
|
Saw you cold and getting wet, sucking the ends of cigarettes
|
You learned how to love a scar cause you could hear the broken heart
|
But you won't sing that sad song
|
|
Saw you run and hide, I saw you slide across the sky
|
But I never saw you down on my side of the road
|
|
Saw you take it on the chin and fix it back with bobby pins
|
Saw you lose before the start, I saw you shining in the dark
|
Saw you chained, I saw you choke, saw you running out of rope
|
Saw you shaking off the blues, I saw you recognize the tune
|
But you won't sing that sad song
|
|
Frisco's too much for me to bear, I thought for sure you'd meet me there
|
But I never saw you down on my side of the road
