Some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh, but I know love
As a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
See, honey, I saw love
You see, it came to me
It put its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
Into something I am not recognizing
See, the cage, it called
I said: Come on in
I will not open myself up this way again
Nor lay my face to the soil
Nor my teeth to the sand
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
You will not see me fall
Nor see me struggle to stand
To be acknowledge by some touch
From his gnarled hands
You see, the cage, it called
I said: Come on in
I will not open myself up this way again
You see, the moon is bright in that treetop night
I see the shadows that we cast in the cold
Clean light
My feet are gold
My heart is white
And we race out
On the desert plains all night
See, honey, I am not some broken thing
I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee
No my heart is gold
My feet are light
And I am racing out
On the desert plains all night
So some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh, but I know love as a caging thing
Just a killer come to call
From some awful dream
O and all you folks, you come to see
You just stand there
In the glass looking at me
But my heart is wild
And my bones are steam
And I could kill you with my bare hands
If I was free
I could be the tiger, I could be the snake
I could be the fire, I could be the lake
I could be the sky-bird waiting on the wind
I could be the devil waiting to begin
See, I was the wounded master, oh then I was the slave
My hands and my mouth, aw honey, they would not behave
See, I was the holy writer then I was the page
I was the bleeding actor then I was the stage
But now you’re telling me my heart’s sick
And I’m telling you I know
And you’re telling me you’re leaving
And I’m telling you to go
And I’m not so sorry for the heart-wreck
But for each season left unblessed
The new terror in the canyons
The new terror in our chests
I could be the tether, I could be the place
I could be forever or just a couple days
I could be the morning that breaks upon your skin
I could be the devil and do it all again
See, I was the wounded master then I was the slave
My hands and my mouth, aw honey, they was caught in a rage
See, I was the holy lion then I was the cage
I was the bleeding actor then I was the stage
Oh, in life
Through many dark rooms
We must go
And all right
Though many’s the hour
Will come to you sour and slow
And all night
Though flames in the forest ring halos
To glory us both
All I
Can bring to that chorus of smoke
Is the hope that you know
O love
Though one day I tarried too far
And I never came home
O love
Always I carried your heart
Buried deep in my own
The road is alive
And everybody’s all here
I’m closing my eyes
Till the colours appear
Oh me oh my
Ain’t it funny up here
To stand in the light
Said I ain’t came to Los Angeles just to die
Are you getting a lot of attention now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you bleeding in every direction now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they covering you up with affection now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they giving you a lot of attention now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
They told me my eyes
Would never be clearer
To hold on to mine
Make good money out here
They told me those lies
Just a grinning from ear to ear
They showed me a lie
They said “here is our offer, ain’t it fine”
I know I’m back with just a song
And I been gone so awful long
But babe you know there ain’t nothing wrong
And you know I’ll be here soon
The road is long and the road does wind
I’m bound to leave some parts behind
But don’t you pay that any mind
Cause you know
I’ll be here soon
So lay your ass out on the floor
And raise your glass and raise it more
And praise and laugh and praise some more
And you know
We’ll be here soon
Now dry your eyes in the setting sun
I know the pressure’s on and ain’t nothin fun
And babe you know it’s all been done
But you know
It ain’t been too
So get yourself and bring her here
And fix yourself up in the mirror
We’ll fix ourselves another beer
And you know
We’ll be here soon
