Picking flowers

On a dusty dirt road

I waited for your car to come

And take me home

You sound like a snakebite

Asking me to hold tight

While they slowly coil

Around my neck

But I won't set this bridge alight

All my friends they left the party

And I know I wouldn't last the night

With all these ghosts around....around

It’s a wonder anything gets done

With all this chaos going on

Gnawing daily at the hand that strokes 

Until it hits me right back

But I won't set this bridge alight

All my friends they left the party

And I know I wouldn't last the night

With all these ghosts around....around

You believe it

All the things they say

Fall for that loaded lexicon

That just sets you up to fail

I know you think 

You’ve got the Midas touch

But all your gold

It won’t be enough

So we should set this bridge alight

And find our friends who left the party

But I know you wouldn’t last the night

Without your ghosts around...around 

Running towards the door 

Waiting for a sign
