Heavy

There's a moon and a pink light
And a war in my head tonight
Heady, heady now
Feel the smoke as my lips touch
Count my dollars and it's not much
Heavy, heavy now
All my angels make me
Fly with demons lately
Put me down
Oh, heavy is the line
Oh, heavy is the line
Made my escape in time
I suppose I could get right
With the shadow of myself tonight
And poison or pin it down
Burn my hand on a hot light
Everyone says I'm alright
Villain in my mouth
All my demon babies
Burned my house and gave me
A halo now
Oh, heavy is the line
Oh, heavy is the line
Made my escape in time
Oh, heavy is the line
Oh, heavy is the line
Made my escape in time

Demons
03:45

Circled round to your old house
I don't know what that was all about
Now, coming back again
There's a change in the wind
Sacred colors and cupboards of cream
You and me dancing, dancing on a dream
Someone is in your old bedroom
By the shape, I know it's not you
What a waste of a grey rainy day
Then again, I could pass for a demon
But oh, it's a face I can fake
Oh, it's a face I can fake
Touching down on the runway
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
That's what you wanted
Escape, I hope you got it
What a waste of a grey rainy day
Then again, I could pass for a stranger
But oh, it's a face I can fake
Oh, it's a face I can fake
Oh, it's a face I can fake

He Took the Sweater
02:16

What am I to do?
He took the sweater I took from you
Gone as gone can be
It might end up at Salvation Army
Hold my hand
I need a friend who can understand
Hold my hand
How to keep warm without a man
It was soft and red
I used to wear it each night in bed
Would we call it theft?
If you took the best of me when you left
Hold my hand
I need a friend who can understand
Hold my hand
How to keep warm without a man

Peace Song
03:12
|
|||
|
In a way, I kept my head
Like a river overfed
Old, old friends
I will sing with you again
And I’m not the only one
Living life out on my own
Own, own nothing
And I wonder what I’ve done
Hold on, there’s a knocker at my door
Selling peace talks
Peace talks
In a way I’m still a child
Oh but time is running wild
Out, outgrowing
The things I dream about
Hold on, there a choir at my door
Singing peace songs
Peace songs
Peace songs
And it might be 33
Or the year that couldn’t be
Old, old friends
The river never ends
It must be ‘round the bend
I just can’t find the end
It’s there and then it bends
