lyrics

Be
can't you be
what you seem
you're hiding in the trees
you got me
you got dreams
you've got fire in your heart
flames of yesterday
fueled by some lover's praise
burn into a bright tomorrow
take your black cat bones
take your bag of tricks & go

I'm a ticking time bomb
in your mind
you've got your fingers on the line
well, I've got mine
so sweet am I
but I've got the devil in my eyes
& I can't tell you when
the spring of love begin
I saw you go before you got here
& I see you coming back
before you even left the track

Dry & spinning nine
I climb the vine
the whispered voice is mine
the flesh is twine
the blood is wine
there's no rhyme or reason here
life is much too long
to justify the song
bleed yourself the rolling stone
& time is ticking down
till I know you'll come around

Readers of the Rolling Stone
