(Instrumental)
to the house And then I knocked hard on the door That old dark piece of wood She fell right in there on the floor And as she did a fire burst out on
the whole day long They're coming for my daughter Innocent cannon fodder Every war is brutal, stupid, expensive and mean If you take her, you also take me Hiding by
Oh midnight singer Outside my window Oh how your songs Come in strange and low And in my bed I lay silent Hoping you'd stay Hoping you'd go Oh midnight
clouds oh roll on by We gotsta get rid of that guy He's gonna blacken up the sky Daddy's old transistor radio Is crackling by the window I just can'
your lightning storms your thunderheads and hail Cuz this land, this love will never be for sale (Yodeling) Wild eyes they watch on me through the velvet night Fire
Struggling like a fly against the glass It's not clear why I can't blast Straight through Behind all the brightest smiles Twist the tortured, tortured
I see you there, your purple hair And the rosy cheeks that I adore Tiger tattoos, my how they suit you I hope you'll let me see a little more Will you
Oh the dirty wordless fingers come again Where the mermaid singers Oh when I need them Oh how I need them Pretty words doled up on silver platters Chanting
Been traveling all too long this bear-cat trail But the love in me's grown stronger than this steel rail That I ride back to your bedroom eyes Been
