Shadowy in lace just the other day I thought of you
You entered my mind like a tiger in time
With what we used to do
And I swore that night before
At Elijah"s wedding fraught with pain
A hidden Lazarus called your name
And I knew that the secret signs were true
Cause I"m a living testament bounded by the silken ropes You loved to dye
What am I gonna do when it"s obviously true
That I read between the lines
And what am I supposed to say when there"s No one else to speed away
From what we"d never find
Yours and Mine
It was only yesterday when I heard my mama say
You"d better Leave that girl alone leave that girl alone
She ain"t no good you"d better knock on wood
Or you"ll surely turn to stone... throw away those stones
And I felt from the look on your face
That this moment existed way before we kissed and crawled across the floor
And I knew that before we were through
I sanctify those rusty charms that swung so sadly from your arms
What am I gonna do when there"s no you to hide behind
And what am I supposed to say whenever you go away and
There"s just me this time to hold the lies
[Solo]
It was half past two in a bar called the Zoo
Somewhere in Carolina deep down in Carolina
A familiar strain called my name
I was right behind you
Standing right behind you
And when I reached for what I thought was mine
A drunken sailor pulled you back
Behind the wall and between the cracks
I saw you pull him down
And I heard my mama"s voice behind that silhouette refrain again
What am I gonna do when the chosen few
Have fallen behind
What was meant to be I clearly see?
In your harlequin eyes
Where"s there left to go you"re the only place I know where
I"m safely alone
That"s there left to feel your Barbed Wire steel
Is wrapped in bone turned to stone...
