Incarceration
Incarcerated, tarmac-bound The tape hiss in my head's too loud And every second doorway says 'Hey buddy come on in'
Well another failure wears you down But she still drags my heart around You gotta love the way light brigade Backed second place to win And as the cavalry charges in It makes a whole, new, great case for breathing
Fathers know what life's about To never live their greatness out And in between the sheets This buck gets shunted down the line
For every one that's lost his head Some other half-wit strives instead To lose his aspirations in the colour of her eyes Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com (They're like the jewels of heaven's sky!) Come one and all to the grounding of sailors
An untroubled ride, golden slumbers of men divine Deep into the night. Each time this odyssey loses height I've got a double who kicks inside
Up here in my ivory tower I condescended to look down And I yelled in my defense why I sing cemetery blues Because if Hollywood's what the world expects It matters not what I do next But if there's always someone else out there who's crippled more than you You'll never know what good you'll do So what's it all for? As we exit this mental ward You know whatever old man's face you wear will cry 'Damn! I wish I could have been them all.'
