I know love is messy, and so unkind
I know love is cruel when it leaves you behind
All the stories told of angels bathed in gold
Burning like the night, baby burning, burning in you
In the deep down ordinary you, burning you free
Baby burning, burning.
So let it burn for a million miles, burning you free
Baby burning, burning
And you will love.
You will love with such abandon
You will love with such freedom
Baby burning.
Love is not a weapon or a tool to be used
Love is not a knife to cut you
And all the stories told of angels glorious
I see in the normalness burning in you
Burning in you
In the deep down ordinary you, burning you free
Baby burning burning.
So let it burn for a million miles, burning you free
Baby burning, burning
And you will love.
You will love with such abandon
You will love with such freedom
Baby burning.
So let it burn for a million miles, burning you free
Baby burning, burning
And you will love.
You will love with such abandon
You will love with such freedom
Baby burning burning.
So let it burn for a million miles, burning you free
Baby burning, burning

Skin and Bones

Driving my car alone through these streets I roam
I can't find my home
I can't find my home
The city makes new to me
The coldest that I have ever been
Sounds of the North I sing
While my stomach's hungering
I lost everything I owned
Even the streets I once roamed
Left me my skin and bones
Only my skin and my bones
Buy me a home 'cause I'm so tired of roaming
My skin and bones for sale
My skin and bones are for sale
Buy me a home 'cause I'm so tired of roaming
Dust in my mouth I taste
Dust all over my face
It brings no comfort near
I just can't find it here
I lost everything I owned
Even the streets I once roamed
Left me my skin and bones
Only my skin and my bones
Buy me a home 'cause I'm so tired of roaming
My skin and bones for sale
My skin and bones are for sale
Buy me a home 'cause I'm so tired of roaming
I lost everything I owned
Even the streets I once roamed
Left me my skin and bones
Only my skin and my bones
But nothing is there for me
And I won't go back to see all that is here with me
My skin and bones with me
Buy me a home 'cause I'm so tired of roaming
My skin and bones for sale
My skin and bones are for sale yeah

Leavin' California

Baby, I'm leaving this long desert highway
No shelter I find along the long and dusty road
So, baby, I'm leaving, I'm leaving you, California
For shelter I find leads me from you.
'Cause I need some rain now
Some rain in California, but rain don't rain down in California blue
California blue
And I need the rain
Pouring over me
I need the rain
Pouring down down
Pouring down down down
I need the rain.
'Cause I've lost my way now
My way in California where my crying tears blur your blue skies
And I know I'll be lonesome
I'll be lonesome, California
Where my crying tears still blur your blue
But I need the rain now
Some rain in California
But rain don't rain down in California blue
California blue
And I need the rain
Pouring over me
I need the rain
Pouring down down
Pouring down down down
I need the rain
Pouring over me
I need the rain yeah
Pouring over, pouring over
I need the rain yeah, the rain yeah
Pouring over me
Pouring down down down
I need the rain.

Karma's a Bitch
05:22

|
Memories fall down over me like sands in the sea
What you did ain't mine to claim
All of this time that you knew you spent with the truth
Carving out these holes in me
But shit comes round in the end
I've seen it begin and I don't owe you nothing for your crimes.
Karma's a bitch y'all, and she's looking out for me
Karma's a bitch y'all
How blind could you be
Karma's a bitch y'all, and she's taking care of me
Karma's a bitch, but she's sure been a good friend to me.
Words in these riddles I speak
Oceans my mouth tried to keep
Turning this tide you know you all made
But soft as the night she creeps watching my dreams as I sleep
Karma's a bitch y'all and she's here to play
'Cause shit comes round in the end
I've seen it begin and I don't owe you nothing for your crimes.
Karma's a bitch y'all, and she's looking out for me
Karma's a bitch y'all
How blind can you be
Karma's a bitch y'all, and she's taking care of me
Karma's a bitch, but she's sure been a good friend to me.
And whether I go or I remain
Whether they've thrown down my soul as something to pay
And whether it's night or the living day
Whether I've lost all my faith, I've lost my way
It's not my burden to bear, it's not my burden
It's not my burden to bear, it's not my burden
It's not my burden
'Cause
Karma's a bitch y'all, and she's looking out for me
Karma's a bitch y'all
How blind could you be
Karma's a bitch y'all, and she's taking care of me
Karma's a bitch, but she's sure been a good friend to me.

Hit that ground, I'm running you down
Running you, baby, I'm running you down
Ain't taking sides on this here midnight ride
Next to noone 'cause, baby, I'm on the run
And I don't dare I don't dare I don't dare give in
They say I'm living in sin
They paid the piper and he don't always win.
Mmmm
Oh glory be
Glo-glory be
Oh glory be
Glory be
Glory be
Oh glory be
Oh glory be
Glory be
You'd break my bones, you'd break my broken down bones
If freedom reigned, I'd die again today
You'd sell my soul if it's what them devils done told ya
I can't be saved if I ain't the one to blame
But I don't dare I don't dare I don't dare give in
They say I'm living in sin
They paid the piper and he don't always win.
Mmmm
Oh glory be
Glo-glory be
Oh glory be
Glory be
Glory be
Oh glory be
Oh glory be
Oh glory be
Glory be
Glory be
Oh glory be yeah
Glory be
Glory be
Glory be
You'd sell my soul if it's what them devils done told ya
But I can't be saved 'cause I ain't the one to blame
And I don't dare I don't dare I don't dare give in
They say I'm living in sin
They paid the piper, and he don't always win.
No
Oh glory be
Glo-glory be
Oh glory be
Glory Be
