[Verse 1] Were that the song I’m singing Was an ocean wide Let the word I’m breathing Reach us over to the other side You chart a burning vessel Out on a pitch black wave Chewing the bone and gristle When it’s the flesh of love you crave [Interlude] [Verse 2] When a lie starts dancing Oh boy it sure can run Halfway around the world Before the truth can get its trousers on And in a nightclub mirror We caught the merest glimpse Of my pre-human spirit Frozen like a deer in the headlamps Till it just don’t matter Till we’re far from care When illusion shatters You see the carnage everywhere Every-where Every-where [Interlude] [Verse 3] To where they taste like metal Through the fog of war Too many hurts like nettles Growing up around my door Then they cut that stairway Yeah with my own bare hands To that high rock plateau Make my home inside the winds Inside the winds Inside the winds Up to that high rocking plateau Make my home inside the winds
