Straight Song
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.
This is a straight song
It's made for you
It shouldn't take long
'cuz that's not what i want to do
And all i wanted
Well, it keeps on coming true
Why shouldn't you?
You've got to die a little
If you really want to go
It's got to hurt a little
If you really want to know
So let's lie a little
Together you and me
And be as true as true can be
He who wants to know
Must surely hold
His body
As he who holds the door
Will surely know
A showdown
I'd feel the world for you
If you weren't doing it for me
I'd steal the girl in you
If you weren't letting her go free
I would pretend
I could pretend to be a friend
If that was what we had to be
I'll cross the threshold
Into the lair
I'll pat the lion on its head
I won't despair
I won't despair
Though claws are sharp and they might tear
I will be bringing it back to you
You know i will
He who wants to know
Must surely hold
His body
As he who holds the door
Will surely know
A showdown
I've never been there
I want to go
But i don't dance
So do you want to stay after the show?
For now i'll stand here
With my back against the wall
Watching everything you do
