Sarah Beth

Sarah woke me up,
Four in the morning, look at the stars and
What they are warning us,
Went through my head and over the mountains.
I was in my bed,
My body sleeping with pins and needles.
I never use my head,
What were you thinking? Well I’m just living
Free…

We live in our mouths and they aren’t so far apart,
I built you a house in the hollow of my heart,
You’re burning out and soon it will be dark,
My fuel is in your doubt, my fear is in your spark.

If you fly, I will fly,
If you fall, I will fall,
If you swim, I will swim,
If you drown, I will drown.

Now that you woke me up,
I’ve got to tell you, I felt so dead and
It really hit the spot,
Needed a slapping and now I’ve had one.
Well since we’re both awake,
Why don’t we go out into the city,
And watch the people make
Every decision with tunnel-vision,
Can’t see…
Oh no, they can’t see…
That they are dead like us,
Forever wanting, shamelessly haunting
Another pick-me-up,
And then you feel it, the pins and needles
You’re free…
Oh yeah, we’re all so free…

We live in our words and they aren’t so hard to say,
I built you a world and I can take that world away,
With hurricanes of violent thoughts and floods of alcohol,
My sympathy lies with the fool who dwells within my skull…

If you fly, I will fly,
If you fall, I will fall,
If you swim, I will swim,
If you drown, I will drown,
If you pray, I will pray,
If you smile, I will smile,
If you dance, I will dance,
If you sing, I will sing you a song about no one,
And nothing at all,
Nothing!
