Pegs

Alone lone lone little dreamer

Alone lone lone

My lover's got pegs

Where there used to be legs

My darlin' don't dance anymore

And those stories he sold

They're all full up with holes

It's treacherous taking the floor

There was always someone breaking

When the other was doing fine

Left us staring at the ceiling

Wondering which of us was lyin'

It's gonna take some time

Take some time

It's gonna take some time

To feel alright

Alone lone lone little dreamer

Alone lone lone

Now I know the despair

Of an old empty chair

A mattress that's wide as a mile

And I still get the growl

From a cat on the prowl

But they don't see the crow in my smile

These visceral lines

They coagulate rhymes

So I can spit out what's swallowing me

Cause I bleed newborn red

From a heart made of led

Heavy grey as the clouds that been following me

No, to love me, it wasn't easy

It was nearly suicide

In the end we both chose living

But something in me died

It's gonna take some time

Take some time

It's gonna take some time

To feel alright, feel alright, feel alright

I wanna feel alright

Feel alright, feel alright, feel alright

I wanna feel alright

Someday I will thank the heavens

For his presence in my life

While I'm dancing on the planets

Of another lover's eyes

But it'll take some time

Take some time

It's gonna take some time

To feel alright, feel alright, feel alright, feel alright

Feel alright, feel alright, feel alright, I wanna feel alright

Alone lone lone little dreamer

Alone lone lone
