Reaching over life to life feeling sugared skin my poor baby kissed him so to ashamed to lift his chin
a voice is speaking he's the prophet blinded by the light a heart is breaking I can hear it dropped when gone beyond my sight
hey there, Mr. Talk Too Much what's in store for us now?
I don't know how to speak to you I don't know how to trust you I don't know how to live for you I don't know how to love you the gentleman who fell before the court
I feel your closeness like a shotgun a chill within my soul I touch your finger know your darkness your passion takes its' toll
Can't see that this talk is cheap let the suffering go
Repeat First Chorus Repeat First B Section Repeat Chorus
Now, be free the sky must have fallen when I couldn't see your life's weak strain I take a step back and you've fallen again
But if you'd listened a little closer reaching over this cold shoulder
Oh Charlie, a boy and his toys I see you lying stiff and cold spread out upon the bedroom floor kiss me darling with those pale lips once more hands could never comfort you not so well as steel could do
Freak on in did you think this time you would finally win a trip of life
Repeat B section Repeat Chorus
Reeling spinning out of lies daisy vision in your eyes boat is sinking someone cries you have left me to surmise your surprise
Welcome down to Ruby Lane Take your pick, sir We're all the same The sky is my one direction The earth is my bed
Welcome down to Ruby Lane Save your soul, man For life's a game receive me as a dancing monkey And throw me a dime
And if you see my brother You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes Won't you be so good, man As to throw him some food
You come back now and share your peace We'll still be here 'Til time's release I'm here with my one companion The road beneath my feet
And if you see my brother You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes Won't you be so good, man As to throw him some food
Welcome down to Ruby Lane Take your pick, sir We're all the same I'm here with my one companion The road beneath my feet I'm here with my one companion The road beneath my feet
Hey little devil that dwells inside this angel's body, this angel's mind he said "all I need is Jesus to fly" take a little peak through that head of hair I know somewhere there are eyes in there trying to hide a heart that's shining, so bright
they said "what makes you different, from us?" we're gonna bang your head, down
I've got a dream that's growing inside me I'm ready to burst and set it free I know god waits in the city, of angels now I've been building a wall these many years I feel safe inside hiding all my fears don't hold your breath if you're trying to touch me
they said "don't believe in yourself we're gonna band your head, down we're gonna band your head band your head down"
We are aging soon to pass away so cruel to never know, never know never finish what was started.
My whole life's been really strange I've been running in circles trying to make a change I transcend myself with Billy I'm home
