Why taunt me Dancing just like a fiend Awake, asleep, the same dream. Just can’t seem to rest But don’t get mad at yourself. She drew her hands this summer, And when ask to die She seems not moved nor wept. Lay down to sleep and love her, But just Can’t seem to find A heart, her stones And steel pulses in her hands. To still crave the feel. Don’t get made at yourself. She walks along While boot string drags the ground, And rolls and turns. The street top folds over Below the villainous crowd She cries for help But just can’t seem to find, While batting her eyes and gazing far They’ll find him lane in waste. Just can’t comfort more. So quick to tell your life like a rose You look like a devil. She told me so. I lie sometimes I don’t know why. But don’t get mad at yourself. Who there, a dancer Now your life’s yet begun And you talked with a style Before you got shot down Now you talk with a swagger And you breathe with a grunt And you walk like a badger Bum dimes

Home wrecker you’ll fall Down through the growth And the hunger in the night. Gone through the tall, Tall grassy lawns Stranded in the wild. Being wrapped up in you And the strangle-holdin’ blue Oh I don’t know what I’ll do. Oh I wrecked it I know Swept far off and gone. 'lone in the evening Stirring in the wind. In the dim silver dawn The moon howling on In the distance fading Slowly away. And gripping my weight I move slow and away Farther, forward and away. I left you long ago I wrecked it I know A wrecker I know. Aw and drift far away Till my sleeves rip and fray To coast lines laid in at bay. Aw muddy and cheap I sang loudly in my sleep A black haired mare slept Next to me. Coldly I rose And was swept out the door And into the dark eves pulse. The stirring within My moist clammy skin Till I burrowed deep in the street. The drizzle flew round And her face faded frown Aw the mist covered me. She is wild and bleak Not taken by sleep Heavy bags hang Down from her face. And as I dwell so lonely She is a comfort to me She’s a comfort to me. Smoke rise from my chest Steel stares from her grasp I want her for me all the time. I’m dazed as I strive To move through the night She is true though she lies. Oh don’t let me down Do not tame nor remain Within the grasps that my fingers May hold. I say, “Hang up your rules, Be simple and be true.” They ain’t no good And he don’t sing like I do. Running wild in the wind Black mare fare and thin Dark in your eyes and your soul. Oh wreck it, I will I will crash, I will bail Through starry ‘lone, Boundless, stone night. Take me farther down, Passed the creeps and the clowns Passed brick backed mad villains in their steps. Oh I love her so But she don’t know my soul, No she don’t know my soul.

You’re my only comfort more I think of the night When I’ll lay my burden down Lay it down And take it away I got no patience, been tumblin’ On waves o’ old grey rivers white coat And leave here tomorrow In the late morning Cheer up, lady don’t you rain no more And as lonely you find yourself Call on me I’ve gone away, gone far away I’ve seen old men speak And curse of a hungry hard tomb With wet feet freezing Beneath the cloud dim and aging So I think of brighter days When I’ll lay my burden down again What have it of hate? To know the loneliness Don’t lay me down, down in the grown Ah to leave my troubles And go out alone Red and gold is the color of the land that I’ll roam You could wonder on And not find the song To lift the woes that hold my body down
