dancin'

[stolenthestars]

It's burnin' like hell
And I'm left on the floor
My mind out of any relief,
thinkin' whiskey eyes
my naked thighs
covered up in my best knees highs.

Sheriff phonin', "there was a death"
And I'm runnin' fast,
runnin' away
as my poor mother begins to scream.
And my brothers head straight to the scene,
lonely old landlord drunk and mean.
And I can hear months of smilin',
laughin and thinkin, "oh love".
I can see all kinds of people
go from red to blue,
tall to fat to lean.

When I was a child,
I thought, stole, lied, as a child.
As I grew older,
I didn't dance with the devil no more.
Now my recently sore, lay on the floor.
Should be a jealous fool,
But I've got no heart to pump any good blood no more.

That liar sure did steal some things from me.
Like my money and my brain,
beating heart and good name,
kissing my lips hot with blame.
With a mind to unclear to think.
I was pulled under, while my eyes were still rose colored.
Yes, I was pulled under,
And my eyes blossomed soft red covers.
Now I've got no heart to pump any good blood no more.

When I was a child,
I thought, stole, lied, as a child.
As I grew older,
I didn't dance with the devil no more.
Just wrote dumb fool
until my eyes were no longer pink
death got me, fool in love
layin' across my bedroom floor.
