Cut The Rope 06:01
How does it feel When you break a heart Does it start to peel In the weaker parts Does it fall to dust Or crumble slow And does it help you, woh oh When you cut the rope So take me in You perfect soul My heroin of this hallow grove And would you take my sin When you’re on the road And will you treat me like a kid When you cut the rope So are you weak Or are you hardened by pain Does it stain your hands Or can you wash it away And would you ever think About the love that we knowed Every day and every night Before you cut the rope So how does it feel When you’re sleeping alone Are you weak in the head Or were you left in the road Oh and how we walked Oh and how we’ve grown Pretty talk to me, woh oh, As I cut the rope Oh and how we walked Oh and where have you gone Pretty talk to me, as I cut the rope

Lamplight 04:23
And lover, where’d you lose your patience I know you had your patience And I was just a kid And clueless, you never stop to wonder If lightning strikes the thunder Or if it’s just coincidence Every time your father beat you down You told him, "Dad it won’t be long," And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong And hated Your bedroom is a dark place, but you've broken all the doorways And now you're stuck inside But hopeful Your memory's still around though, you can see it from your window As it starts to pass you by Now I'm in your car, you hold your apples in your arms You're a friend I used to know, but you still lean against my walls Tell me beauty I won't bluff, I set my mind to worthless stuff But I was hoping you'd have the decadence, the appetite of love But that's alright, yeah that’s alright Every time your father beat you down You told him, "Dad it won’t be long," And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong And when you came to me, and said, "We gotta leave," And so we took your parents' car And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong And when we got away, but in a couple days We crashed in Arkansas And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong And when the cop cars came and took you away I knew I had to write this song And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong
