The more it spins the harder to grow it out The more it spins the harder to The more it spins the harder to grow it out The truth is crooked what can you do No shades to hide the sun might hurt your eyes Why don’t you try to stay below? Well if your head can reach out have in mind There’s lot to see don’t bother to If I’m rude now Darling don’t worry about it I’ll shake your hands and I’ll put on my smile now So now my hands are in my pockets boy What if your mother thinks that’s rude? At this age you won’t need your toys You even know how far we are from home? Reaching my head out Reaching my head out now Reaching my head out If I’m rude now Darling don’t worry about it I’ll mind the tone and I’ll put on my smile now If I’m rude now Darling don’t worry about it I’ll shake your hands and I’ll put on my smile now I wave ‘em off I had to stay out Of where this seems it’s leading to The more it spins the harder to grow it out The truth is crooked what can we do sir Reaching my head out Reaching my head out Reaching my head out If I’m rude now Darling don’t worry about it I’ll shake your hands and I’ll put on my smile now If I’m rude now Darling don’t worry about it I’ll shake your hands and I’ll put on my smile now

Get it on down to the bone Oh I can’t let go but I get by Love is all around she said today Lay down all your cards don’t let it wait Love will get you to the bones Love will get you to the bones No April fools But by the clues most people lose their way How to define Her kind of mind Well by all Divine Can try to get it all Get it on down to the bone Oh my head explodes but I get by Full moon’s light in on tonight Get through it every night and day Lay down on your knees try and learn to pray Cause love will get you to the bones Love will get you to the bones No April fools But by the clues quite sure you’ll lose your chain How to define Her kind of mind Well by all Divine Can try to get it all Get it on down to the bone Oh I can’t let go but I get by Full moon’s light is on tonight Get throught it every night and day Lay down on your knees don’t let it wait Love will get you to the bones Love will get you to the bones No April fools But by the clues most people lose their way

Saw an old woman cry at the window Saw an old woman and asked her what’s wrong Saw an old woman she said “quit with questions boy you ain’t got long” then she told me slowly All day today I’ve been talking to my blood All day today I’ve talking to my bones All day today I’ve been talking to these two old eyes in looking glass and not a word spoken But yesterday I was talking to a ghost Yesterday I was laughing with the dead Just yesterday I was smiling at the phantoms of many long lost friends ‘till that long day was gone Tomorrow I’m going up the graveyard Tomorrow I’m going up those cold stones Tomorrow I’ll call up every name and dance on every last grave Better dance while you can

Churches won’t stay open at night any more The Saviour needs some rest so all the evenings he’ll be off The thief and the cobbler won’t cry for her love The king is safe her dignity is restored She told me that she saw once a fairy south in Spain Wearing sunglasses and smoking like a train She asked her is it getting any better on the way “If I knew I wouldn’t be here today my child” Hold me hand this time might be forever Strange enough love doesn’t always stay She well not to fall in love a boy from the south The never bath they only sing cute stories for lost crowns And when the night comes they might treat you with their tricks They whisper to your ear when you sleep Oh India is thousand miles away ain’t worth Go just for two weeks you will miss why you came for A toy air balloon and I’m scared if I fit Well bring it on ain’t gonna sleep on it honey Hold me hand this time might be forever Strange enough love doesn’t always stay

Load your pockets with dough Work like a dog stop thinking with words Oh lord I can’t choose this lifestyle Might need some time to adapt The way things work is best for us all Oh lord what a joke they pull on us They hired a new girl a couple year younger Free beer with every meal but why would any bother Shut in the basement your hopes Yeah why not selling your soul you can buy the whole world And have one of those rich burials How much would it be for you doll? Four weeks per year is all the you’ve got The happily walk with glory and might Shine all the four wheels for toilet use this bucket When mixter Shinny comes please show him to his locker My head got so tired baby Still trying to save what matters to me My head got so tired bay Still trying to save what’s dear to me

Louder and louder I speak With this new tongue that comes now to my dreams Not the place to play it all that proud I count everything twice later I found This world and I don’t seem to bad to try Well my baby I have to see what I can do for me Strange habbit and lazy this seems Chasing words what shoddy hand to pic When this whole place went upside down We were singing of merriment and score How charming but it seems I called your bluff Oh my, oh my poor troubled mind Don’t claim it all leave something for the soul Said and done Mind, Body, Soul Said and done Fire come light it on
