[Verse 1] We started out as brothers in the dark A steady hand to help me find the right remark, He used to hold the lantern in the night And guide my heavy boots to what was alright A trusted friend when I was all alone He made a sanctuary skin and bone [Chorus] But the voice in my head started changing its tune From a comforting word to a cold silver spoon It whispers a dare that I should not believe A devilish trickster with cards up his sleeve [Verse 2] He told me on the river road today To overtake that truck and blast away A blind curve coming, and he says it is clear He feeds on the danger and laughs at my fear [Chorus] Oh the voice in my head started changing its tune From a comforting word to a cold silver spoon It whispers a dare that I should not believe A devilish trickster with cards up his sleeve [Verse 3] He told me walk out to that lone handy bar To get the best picture of who we both are The tide would rush in and would swallow my breath He smiles as he dares me to flirt with my death [Chorus] Cause the voice in my head started changing its tune From a comforting word to a cold silver spoon It whispers a dare that I should not believe A devilish trickster with cards up his sleeve [Outro] I will listen to caution and stay on the shore And let that old companion just talk to the floor [Fade-Out] Don't listen for now, the voice is a bore, [harmonica] Your just like a cold silver spoon-in the room, Talk to the floor, I won't listen anymore Yeah, just...talk to the floor
