Bee Sting 03:42
Your cupid has a poison arrow And a mind shut down, the opening is narrow In my opinion things are getting better I know it's bullshit, we shouldn't be together My bee sting has many arms to hold you And you might just cry on any of my shoulders Is that because my grip is getting tighter Or is it just that we can't get any higher One day late the darkest night Come to greet you when you rise May the shadows that do find you Be a little unkind

You wouldn't leave her alone for a night Not all you want but it's good every time All right, all right, you tried Lady will show you with yesterday's eyes Do what she has to to keep you in sight In sight, in sight you stand by her side When it starts rocking I'm rolling with you Now you can't do it just to get through The stairs in the hall disappear under you One step away from losing that too Built her a house with the words you bestowed Then burned it down just to learn how to love How to love, to love Not enough, enough When it starts rocking I'm rolling with you Now you can't do it just to get through The stairs in the hall disappear under you One step away from losing that too Hell in a basket, no handle to use Wearing the way out the road don't want you Out on the shoulder and still you can't see I'm here at home when will you come to me When it starts rocking I'm rolling with you Now you can't do it just to get through The stairs in the hall disappear under you One step away from losing that too

Your Ghost 03:45
When you were small the ghost was just a doll Grew up alone in the thick of it all Crying your la la la's your mama gave her love away Invited company who never meant to stay Grew into your body, got your own place Met easy people with a similar face Above and below you learned to smoke And now you wanna stay Rattling the change in the jar, there's enough to get through the day Was it something you saw? Asound that you heard? Floorboards creak unforgivable words I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it Was anyone there at all? Outgrew your body, moved out of your place Bought a reclining chair, another morning to hate Crying your la la la's your papa gave his life away He put on a uniform and never went out to play Was it something you saw? Asound that you heard? Floorboards creak unforgivable words I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it Was anyone there at all? I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it Was anyone there at all?

You choose your battles carefully Writing them off from a to z One day late tell me all you feel Then take it back cause it wasn't real Sometimes a fire or just a spark Keeps me aware that it is dark When there is too much talk Not enough time to be in your arms No misunderstanding, I know where you're landing Under bright stars If all that you say is true All of the love inside of you Not what you say but what you do Falling like dust in our bedroom No misunderstanding, I know where you're landing Under bright stars I'll never be like you Don't get how you live or what you do Easy go and do it, make a dream Neither one of us will let it be No misunderstanding, I know where you're landing Under bright stars No misunderstanding, I know where you're landing Under bright stars

I want a cowboy summer Longer and hotter than indian Into the draught of winter Like when we first met The corn was so much sweeter The wheat was so much taller When we first saw each other We had a little weather Well I tried to slow it down But I kept myself around Now you see us in September We are two cascading embers You can't deny the clouds their thunder Ask them to shade you only when the sun is high I would not come here seeking cover And it feels all right Well I tried to slow it down But I kept myself around Now you see us in September We are two cascading embersWell I tried to slow it down But I kept myself around Now you see us in September We are two cascading embers
