If I wait long enough someone might come out If I tried I could be somebody else
So I follow false prophets walking down my street To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall
Don't bury my feet so I can't run I'll be your martyr in bells Well I've walked in your steps and held my breath Until your words reached the air
Then I lied with the poets face first in the street When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall
So I follow false prophets walking down my street To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep I lied with the poets face first in the street When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep
But it's all been the downfall, it's all been the downfall It's all been the downfall of me All in the downfall
I talk with my friend over the phone, I'm scared to say things I don't know and be wrong, And words always sound much better coming out of someone else But put it in a song and know that we can get along
I'm trying to lose, lose my mind When it's gone I'll tell you where it went About the extent of it's stay Strum a few chords and use my voice And make this song with the hopes that you'd play along, along <i>[whistling]</i>
And look at the ones before me Some say I waste my time But normal life seems so boring, So trying to lose my mind
Well I met a girl, She didnt like my song She told me that old songs are better She played me her favorite records This is how I repayed her I said it's okay to some but I hope that you can sing alone alone
And look at the ones before me Some say I waste my time But normal life seems so boring so im trying to lose my mind.
Behind the mountains where the Cuckoo sings They tried to mine a miner for his golden veins But a guy gets lonely and a guy gets sick Evil woman you're bound to make a mess of it
She laid me down in her golden sheets Lord save me, Lord I was knee deep Well a hundred soldiers and a thousand men Couldn't drag me down but I'm back on my knees again
Wanna leave, wanna go That woman is a devil yes I know
But i know more than you think I do You got a hole in your face where I can see through you Well holy me, you've got devils in your sleeves With the bull in your court you're bound To make a mess of me
Wanna leave, wanna go That woman is a devil yes I know
I must confess this blood in my chest I've made a great mistake so cruel One, two, three there's an owl on me I'm searching for the way it used to be Why don't you give yourself to me, I I've got a deal for you But Ph yes I've a lot to confess, Drowning far away from home Tied to a heart of stone
Darling my days are so bleak Pretending that you're still alive, Lonely nights, this mariner cries He's drowning in desperate tides, because
This solitary mindset has left me cursed in fame But oh death I would give my last breath Drowning far away from home
My sinking heart of stone Oh death can I breathe my last breath Yes yes I'd like to confess
Because this solitary mindset has left me cursed with fate But oh death Can't breathe my last breath Drowning far away from home Stuck with my heart of stone
Well Miss Magnolia You just can't keep, keep me to yourself You know I've been here way to long You had me working all day long No I'm not cut out and I won't be found to make a man for you, No, no
La na na na La na na na <i>[X11]</i>
Well if you see her, make sure you tell, tell her that I'm gone To find a land beyond where I'll be free The riverboat and me A rolling stone, but by and by I'll find me home
La na na na La na na na <i>[X6]</i>
I wrote a letter in the mail it said: "A steed don't need a mare Dearest Magnolia" Well put flowers on the grave, and may the headstone read: "We could get along but we never did belong"
Well Miss Magnolia You just can't keep, keep me to yourself You know I've been here way to long You had me working all day long No I'm not cut out and I won't be found to make a man for you No, no
I've heard the story, I'm sure he held you down Forced you to do things while I'm not around But you lied, yeah you lied But I've got cigarette eyes
Feel uneasy, I think of you less My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy You lie, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell You held a victim under your spell So go hide, well go hide But I've got cigarette eyes
I feel uneasy, I think of you less My mind is so restless and I'm feeling obsessed Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
So you've got yourself a bright young girl One who lies with you in bed When she tells you that she likes the weather Don't believe a word that she says no more
Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell You held a victim under your spell So go hide, well go hide But I've got cigarette eyes
I feel uneasy, I think of you less My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
