about

Sometimes you just need to slow it down and run it directly through a reverb tank. Y'know what I mean?

lyrics

If you stay,
Or if you go,
A loose and tumbling parasol,
Carving trenches down the back me,
You can run,
And if you're slow,
A confession,
Au naturale.

The bank's burden is a bitch of a beast,
A chronological order of thieves,
They say your eyes are the ransom of kings,
And they never show anything. So,
Pass that smile to me.

I was strong,
And I was bold,
A man of mention, honorable,
But new tricks to the rabbit we show,
I know you're late,
I know it's cold,
But I'm not leaving till I hear you say it,

"We are never going back this way",
'Cause it's harder to leave than to lay,
And it's easy to touch and believe,
Guess thats the story of,
Helen of Troy and me.
