lyrics

Well, something’s coming over me—
I’m about to shed my skin!
She says, “I don’t wanna’ know.”
She says, “I don’t wanna’ know!”
Well, once my wings are fully grown,
No god can keep them in.
She says, “I don’t wanna’ know.”
“I don’t wanna’ know where it comes from.”

Oh, staying here might save us,
But what’s there to protect?
She says, “I don’t even care.”
She says, “I don’t even care!”
But just as I’m about to leave
Her hands are on my back,
She says, “I don’t even care.”
“I don’t even care where we’re goin’.”

And it’s true my hue is wearing down,
My grin does tend to fade.
But darling on the brightest night,
You’ll see them either way.

But now my pace is changin’;
I’m dragging every step.
I say, “Just leave me behind.”
“Just leave me behind.”
And the forest is a-roarin’
With the maulin’ calls of Death;
I say, “Just leave me behind.”
“Just leave me behind in the creek bed.”

But before I’ve scored another word
Her fist has hit my cheek.
I say, “Darlin’, what the hell?”
“Darlin’ what the hell?”
And the clouds are all a-glowin’
With the show that they’ve just seen.
I say, “Darlin’, what the hell?”
“Darlin’, what the hell was I thinkin’?”

And it’s true my hue is wearing down,
My grin does tend to fade.
But darling on the brightest night…

Maybe when they’re hanging up the paintings
They’ll leave them in the sun, so they can fade.
‘Cause darlin’, when the wind is coming over us
They’re much too hard to carry either way.

And it’s true my hue is wearing down,
My grin does tend to fade.
But darling on the brightest night,
You’ll see them either way.
