Lyrics
His Only Trade
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.
Some day he's gonna wake up
In a burning house
and wonder what to save
and wonder who to blame
(Some day he's gonna wake up
in a burning house
and wonder what got burned
and what looks the same)
Some day he's gonna take stock
of sleepwalking days
Similar prints and sutured pages
(Some day he's gonna take stock
of the time he lost
when he tied the knot and pulled the string)
Sessions
(He only hurt you)
Shivers
(When you were lying)
You wanna make that bastard sing!
(His only trade)
You wanna make that bastard sing!
(His only trade)
You wanna make that bastard sing!
Wish he'd never turned the lights out [x8]
