Spirit Of The Stairways
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.
Tires won’t work cause there’s nothing left of them
A fire won’t burn in this cold day
Before you know there’ll be nothing of my skin
Before you sail out, why would you be luckless tonight?
Tell me why there is water in the gin
Tell me why I keep fighting
And fires don’t burn out, we just make them overdone
The cats won’t sing for you anymore
Before you come and fuck it up again
Before I speak as the idiot
Before you know there’ll be nothing of my skin
Before you sail out, why would you be luckless tonight?
Why would you be luckless tonight?
Why would you be luckless tonight?
Why would you be?
