|
Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe |
|
Fall down on your knees in the dirt |
|
I'm tied to the mast between water and wind |
|
Believe me, you'll never get hurt |
|
Our ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole |
|
Down at the Five Points(1) I stand |
|
I'll lose everything |
|
But I won't let go of your hand |
|
|
|
Well, Peter denied and Judas betrayed |
|
I'll bail with the roll of the drum |
|
And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel |
|
And the watchman is making his rounds |
|
Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth |
|
I've only got one leg to stand |
|
You can send me to hell |
|
But I'll never let go of your hand |
|
|
|
Swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream(?) |
|
Signed with One Eyed Jack's blood |
|
From Temple to Union, to LA and Grand |
|
Walking back home in the mud(2) |
|
|
|
Now I must make my best of the only way home |
|
Molly deals only in stone |
|
I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes |
|
Just give me a couple more throws |
|
I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight |
|
Dare me to jump and I will |
|
I'll fall from your grace |
|
But I'll never let go of your hand |
|
I'll never let go of your hand |
