A Better Deal

If I go, would you follow

Would you leave all you know?

Run through woods, through the forest

And the trees and the snow?

I could never reason anyway with you

Each piece of every puzzle always seemed to

Fall into place

Exactly in the way you want it to

To tell you I'm cold wouldn't get me far

Cause that's the way things usually are

This time of year

In a little while you can see me

And I'll feel better then

With my fingers crossed for a better deal

And something sure

Sink or swim, for I have been

The sweet one down the line

Tearing up tones

And cracking all my bones

For something that is mine alone

Four times round and I carry by the pound

Every word

And I sleep in the sunshine for hours and hours

Can you tell me, is it true?

Have you heard?

That you can get lost in a place you know

Like the back of your hand while the sirens grow

In the front of your mind, do you ever unwind?

Is it all for show?

Sink or swim, for I have been

The sweet one down the line

Holding out and half past doubt

That sometime you'll be mine alone
