The Key
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Out here there's a hole in the sky
Doors open to the other side
I saw a two headed dog fightin' over a bone
Black haired woman turn into crows
I gotta take a step back and think this through
Gotta know it's true
I gotta know if I'm livin' in a dream,
is this what it seems
Gotta know anyone believes
How did I get lost, what's the final cost
Could you please help me find the key
Out here, under the willow tree
Deep down is where you'll find the key
I've been here once before maybe in a dream
Thylacines play tambourines
I gotta take a step back and think this through
Gotta know it's true
I gotta know if I'm livin' in a dream,
is this what it seems
Gotta know anyone believes
How did I get lost, what's the final cost
Could you please help me find the key
Out here the sayin' goes
Off with the lights and on with the show
Once it's dark the children play
They all join hands and dance around the grave
I gotta know if I'm livin' in a dream,
is this what it seems
Gotta know anyone believes
How did I get lost, what's the final cost
Could you please help me find the key
