Murphy Elliott - Caught Short In The Long Run lyrics
Your rating:
Roll down your window Your crying's got everything steamed. Roll down your window It's not as desperate as you make it seem You're so young to have seen it And now your vision is much too old and much too clear You know I'm friends with that darkness you've been seeing We dated once or twice in earlier years And I know that you're trying And believe me I know that it's tough But I've seen you when you're dancing with the children Skip ahead to the lighter stuff And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your door And you thinking of your family And your thinking it's been much too long Because you need some of their innocence and their order But that medicine is much too strong And we're holding so tight and we're falling And the funny thing is both are just the same You know freedom will find its own amusement And it looks like we've found a waiting game So you torture yourself for that moment When the only thing left is to feet You know romantics may run free in the darkness But come the light, they're the first to kneel And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your door But the lines we have drawn and the sides we have chose And my own indecision how badly that shows And, God damn, if I was a hero I would have kept our little world closed
