TOP DOWN outside the city
First warm day of the spring
We're living it
WHITE HOUSE, bright green hedges
Spiked cider on the edge
Of the blood red clips
You took me by the shoulder
Like someone much, much older
And let me
Behind the shaded fence
Last fortress, last defense
My destiny
But I got the life for you
It's right for you to hold me in your hand
I read my stars last night
They told me I might end up in your hand
If you don't take control of me
I'm lost at sea, out of your hand
And if I should die today
I pray that it will be by your hand
Your hand, your hand
BLACK CLOUD, like a bullet
That t-shirt, pull it over your head
And come
I keep it where we came from
Who we were when we were young
IS DEAD AND GONE
I want you now, forever
I want you deeply blooded inside of me
You slipped back into town
And dreamed of looking down
On the city and me
But I got the life for you
It's right for you to hold me in your hand
I read my stars last night
They told me I might end up in your hand
If you don't take control of me
I'm lost at sea, out of your hand
And if I should die today
I pray that it will be by your hand
Your hand, by your hand
By your hand
First warm day of the spring
