[00:20.87] |
You can fake it for a while |
[00:22.78] |
Bite your tongue and smile |
[00:23.72] |
Like every mother does an ugly child |
[00:28.66] |
But the stars are leaking out |
[00:30.60] |
Like spittle from a cloud |
[00:32.40] |
Amassed resentment counting ounce and pound |
[00:36.46] |
You're entertaining any doubt |
[00:38.96] |
Because you had to know that I was fond of you |
[00:42.57] |
Fond of Y-O-U |
[00:45.14] |
Though I knew you masked your disdain |
[00:50.75] |
I can see that change was just too hard for us |
[00:54.36] |
Hard for us |
[00:56.79] |
You always had to hold the reigns |
[00:59.60] |
But where I'm headed you just don't know the way |
[01:06.93] |
So affections fade away |
[01:08.90] |
And do adults just learn to play |
[01:10.48] |
The most ridiculous repulsive games |
[01:14.91] |
On the faith of ruddy sons |
[01:16.70] |
And the double-barreled guns |
[01:18.52] |
You better hurry |
[01:19.33] |
Rabbit run run run |
[01:22.82] |
'Cause meeting you was fun |
[01:25.25] |
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell |
[01:28.11] |
We're taking it over |
[01:30.54] |
Their brittle thorny stems |
[01:32.44] |
They break before they bend |
[01:34.24] |
And neither one of us is one of them |
[01:38.58] |
And the tails will never mend |
[01:41.02] |
'Cause you had it in for me so long ago |
[01:44.64] |
Boy I still don't know |
[01:46.88] |
I don't know why and I don't care |
[01:50.26] |
Well hardly anymore |
[01:52.82] |
If you'd only seen yourself hating me |
[01:56.49] |
Hating me |
[01:58.86] |
When I've been so much more than fair |
[02:01.61] |
But then you had to lay those feelings bare |
[02:06.17] |
One thing I know still got you scared |
[02:10.04] |
You're all that cold iron |
[02:12.17] |
And never once aired of our dead |
[02:52.98] |
You had to know that I was fond of you |
[02:56.40] |
Fond of Y-O-U |
[02:58.67] |
So I took your licks at the time |
[03:04.68] |
And to change like that is just so hard to do |
[03:08.21] |
Hard to do |
[03:10.52] |
Don't let it whip-crack your life |
[03:13.59] |
And bow out from the fight |
[03:18.13] |
Those old pious sisters were right |
[03:21.87] |
The worst part is over |
[03:23.93] |
Now get back on that horse and ride |
