Please don't make me answer you
|
The world is big but my circles are small
|
And please don't try to shut me out
|
I'm in love that's all
|
I'm not afraid to listen, if you're not afraid to hear
|
And please don't laugh I just can't help,
|
Grinning when I'm giving it all
|
And please don't show you're face around my place
|
I've seen it all before
|
And I'm not afraid of dying, but sometimes I refrain,
|
I believe that life goes on like a hurricane
|
And you struggle through the pieces till you're not so sane
|
Anymore
|
And so you want and you suffer till you've had enough
|
and in the end there's a heaven in the cold clear bluff, only want
|
(chorus)
|
To come through like roses
|
To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train,
|
In the middle of a bad dream
|
All you wanted was to be proud,
|
Like a rough little
|
Soldier,
|
There's a place where the soul ends
|
Comes through like roses,
|
Comes through like roses
|
Looking down I see my cigarette is even,
|
With the horizon that my feet have made in the blanket,
|
Looking back I lost the fight it was uneven,
|
You never gave me time enough to say I was wrong
|
Or I was sorry,
|
I can see your head's still spinning like a merry-go-round
|
And you're glaring at the people like you've been shut down
|
Quarter time,
|
It's a war gonna win no matter what it takes,
|
And you can feel every second of the cold heartache
|
Coming down
|
(chorus)
|
(solo)
|
(chorus)
