Darko
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.
I run full speed with my hands still tied
And her purple knees; flash of bullets fly
I'll be yours if you catch me tonight
Man, oh man, will you watch my back
As i see the world through the evening cracks?
No more bathroom stalls
No more midnight crawls
From the new york vine
And from the new york vine
I know i'll reach the sun
While you're burnin' up your heart
(from the new york vine)
And i'll beckon everyone
Fallin' from the very start
(from the new york vine)
We wait, we wait up all night
Staring at a spear in hell
(from the new york vine)
You better think of me, you better think of me,
You better think of me
'cause darlin', i do
I barely had you a thousand nights
I kept spinning out in your steady eye
Oh, in my hands, in my hands was the time of your life
Oh, mystery man, will you watch my back
While i breathe her deep through the evening cracks
No more bathroom stalls
No more midnight brawls from the new york vine
And from the new york vine
I know i'll reach the sun
While you're burnin' up your heart
(and from the new york vine)
And i'll beckon everyone
Fallin' from the very start
(from the new york vine)
We wait, we wait up all night
Staring at a spear in hell
(from the new york vine)
You better think of me, you better think of me,
You better think of me
'cause darlin', i do
(just put your hands on me)
Man, oh man, if you watch my back
I will breathe you deep through the evening crack
No more bathroom stalls
No more midnight falls from the new york vine
Ooooh
(and from the new york vine)
I know i'll reach the sun
While you're burnin' up your heart
(and from the new york vine)
And i'll beckon everyone
Fallin' from the very start
(from the new york vine)
We wait, we wait up all night
Staring at a spear in hell
(from the new york vine)
You better think of me, you better think of me,
You better think of me
'cause darlin', i do
