lyrics
I can’t claim to have an understanding
From where I stand it wouldn’t matter anyway
I couldn’t tell you how much I’ve got to lose
For a Dionysian prize I’ll wager any day
Oh yeah, won’t you come my way
Throw away your troubles, let the sunrise kill the gray
No thorns left to bleed you, we all paid our dues
Don’t you know Narcissus broke his mirror for you
My eyes they see nothing, my voice it speaks less
Hearin nothin but the world as it spins
Save for the present, there’s no time behind or forward
To follow any way it trods through any strength of winds
Oh yeah, won’t you come my way
Throw away your troubles, let the sunrise kill the gray
No thorns left to bleed you, we all paid our dues
Don’t you know Narcissus broke his mirror for you
My heart attack eyes and gunpowder smile
You turn steel to water with the changing of tides
I was down in the diesel with the luck of the dead
You show the trail and I’ll take the ride
From where I stand it wouldn’t matter anyway
I couldn’t tell you how much I’ve got to lose
For a Dionysian prize I’ll wager any day
Oh yeah, won’t you come my way
Throw away your troubles, let the sunrise kill the gray
No thorns left to bleed you, we all paid our dues
Don’t you know Narcissus broke his mirror for you
My eyes they see nothing, my voice it speaks less
Hearin nothin but the world as it spins
Save for the present, there’s no time behind or forward
To follow any way it trods through any strength of winds
Oh yeah, won’t you come my way
Throw away your troubles, let the sunrise kill the gray
No thorns left to bleed you, we all paid our dues
Don’t you know Narcissus broke his mirror for you
My heart attack eyes and gunpowder smile
You turn steel to water with the changing of tides
I was down in the diesel with the luck of the dead
You show the trail and I’ll take the ride
