lyrics

i got blood on my black flag shirt
and i ain't headed home

ya gotta know when to go
ya gotta know when to grow
ya gotta know when to throw it all away

home is smoke on the breeze
can i get a light?

there ain't nothing for it but time
there ain't nothing for it

let go like a broken down dam
a trickle becomes a flood
becomes "goddamn!"
the water ain't the same
but the river keeps its name
i'm a little too late for an early grave
still i can't wait
cos it's hard every day
and it's hard every night, yeah

i find solace in the things you do
i find kindess in you
stuck painting a brickyard view
dreaming portraits of you
ain't it true the sky ain't blue?
the sea's a trickle of morning dew?
the king's crooked crown fell right through
and it glanced off my head

i feel alive among the living dead
i feel alive
