lyrics

I DO YOU DON’T

so if god moves on the water the devil moves on the land
and there ain’t no such thing as angels with wings only demons on the ground
the stuff that dreams are made of the hopes and the promises made may they all go to hell

well we dragged that boat up the coast before the tide came in
but the water wants what the water wants and one should not fight with it
and as the rain fell fast as the waves came hard my hopes and my promises made yeah they all went to hell

but if you give me an inch i will dive in deep and i need not rise for air
i believe my breath will not leave me in death but will swell my shell under there
but youth seemed to vanish as quick as it came and nine months later i don’t know my face at all

cut the ropes i am slipping and if i’m going i cannot hold on
don’t stop, it hurts my love i do you don't
i do you don't

but every minute of every day we get a chance to do what’s right
and there’s no confusion it is clear and it is cold it is cut and it is black and it is white
and we all hope to fall with the butter side up and we cling to this thing we believe called luck and his father

Yes every minute of every day the question is what’s right
but i seize the bad with both of my hands and i squeeze out all the life
and the choke sounds to me like a joke so as it coughs well i just scoff it all away

cut the ropes i am slipping and if i’m going well i cannot hold on
don’t stop, it hurts my love i do you don't
i do you don't

oh say what you will i will stay around still please keep me within reach
there is something they call the spark of life i only know where the darkness is
and the missing is the thing that kills me if you were really gone it could be easier to be without

cut the ropes i am slipping and if i’m going i cannot hold on
don’t stop, it hurts my love i do you don't
i do you don't
