fall in love with a poet | 1 |
listen to johnny cash | 2 |
and then come crying to me | 3 |
saying how you recreated the blues | 4 |
coat your nicotine with some new age doctrine | 5 |
revolt and then relapse | 6 |
land yourself in a crisis of dead ends | 7 |
and then make that collect call | 8 |
for me to come bail you out | 9 |
flirt with danger | 10 |
walk on the edge of the world | 11 |
but don't lose that incentive | 12 |
that your eyes will cause the atlantic | 13 |
to denounce all its ever known | 14 |
of color and purity | 15 |
bathe with the riches | 16 |
then walk among the broken and torn | 17 |
live your entire life | 18 |
to earn the right to say | 19 |
i'm older now | 20 |
but i can't change you | 21 |
