I watch that open flame | |
Bright light and beautiful orange | |
I watch that open flame | |
I watch that open flame | |
Dear God it’s calling my name | |
I watch that open flame | |
It was our job to make the money | |
And it was he who took all the risks | |
And we would sit down and wrestle our tummies | |
Some serotonin to kill the dope sick | |
But as you may know | |
lying face first in the snow | |
I dreamt of days so long ago | |
Do you remember them? | |
Where did they go? | |
Ah aaahhh… | |
What’d you say? | |
Oh no don’t reply | |
It’s just the voices inside | |
Oh no I can’t decide | |
They say you’re not here | |
I’m not | |
To feel no fear | |
It’s just my sickness | |
You’re nothing you’re no one | |
You don’t exist | |
It’s the voices inside | |
Which is mine | |
I wasn’t born with a silver spoon | |
That was then but I got one now | |
This ritual will kill me soon | |
Hey mom and dad be proud | |
Wednesday night they sweep the street | |
With my record they play for keeps | |
I don’t have any words to say | |
And we would wonder what took him so long | |
Half humming this unsung song | |
Did they find his works in his cold | |
Dead hand, a sunny day at Riker’s Island | |
More to say the least and never would it last | |
It was the nature of the beast | |
It meant present, no future, no past |
