The Spur
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.
We'll put our feet in the sky
Rip 'em free from the ground
And we'll dance like we're high
Watch the good times wear out
Come on, ride faster now
Till the old world's a blur
A neon cardboard cutout
City skyline, the grand graveyard
Be the spur in my side
Be the shade on my eyes
All my friends and my enemies too
I'm with you, I'm with you
Charm me sweet with your fire
Singe the sugar in my bowls
What was sure has turned bitter
What renews can let go
Be the spur in my side
Be the shade on my eyes
All my friends and my enemies too
I'm with you, I'm with you
I'm with you, I'm with you
