Lyrics
Codeine
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.
The minstrel plays false hope
As the organ grinds
Cathedrals falling timbers
Help keep time
From the higher you fall
The more it takes time
Codeine wrestles with
The thief of night
And there's nothing left to do
One pirouette please
In cinnamon' s shoes
Catch that flight
With mississippi blues
While codeine wrestles with
The thief of the night
Yes my friend it's all in the waiting
The little things that drive you crazy
It happened so fast
In the blink of an eye
The ghosts of the past
That play tricks on the mind
See the girl stand there
Without a care
The wind called gale
Blows her silly string hair
Shadows dance on a wall
By candle light
While codeine wrestles with
The thief of the night
Codeine crazy
Codeine my baby
