THIS WAY ( Verse 1 ) Lent you a hand Ran off with my right arm Needed a tongue tip a honey You swallowed the entire swarm And when your crop dust bowled Along it's merciful way You told another lie That made me feel this way ( Verse 2 ) Turned the key 'Cept she wouldn't turn over You came callin' to me Aways your four leaf clover When your sky grew musty Your candles spilled into the bay You parlayed a trust outta me That made me feel this way ( Chorus ) Soon every burnished iron gate's In need of steel brushin' Empty city morning plate Could use some country corn muffins Darkened prison wall searching For a scorchin' spot a light And an ocean liner surging This way and that Towards the icy dead of night ( Verse 3 ) I watched you stretch a tight rope Between your heart and festered mind As you Wallended 'cross your world On somebody else's dime Till a Young man's Hurricane You off the stage it hurled Shredded plaid and angry flannel This way your everything unfurled ( Bridge ) Awake a darling firefly To their smoldering within Or the buzzing of the amplifier mixing with tonic and grungied gin Will permeate the surface To ignite the hidden sky Of even the lowly lightning bug This way they seek their alibi ( Repeat Chorus )
