Brand New Ways
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've been giving it all away
All my precious pearls to swine
You took my treasures and trashed them
I was blind
Now I've got to find
Some brand new ways
You've been taking it all around
Just like a little honey bee
You took your honey pot and jammed it
You did me wrong
Now the time has come
For brand new ways
Yes I heard your explanations
And I swallowed all your lies
I didn't know I could be so foolish
I never saw it in your eyes
I've been hanging on much too long
I've been dangling on a thin, thin thread
Well I'd be better off dead and buried
For all time
Unless I can find
Some brand new ways
Got to find
Some brand new ways
