lyrics

I’m greener than a twig in the spring
I’ve been trying to come up with a way to swing this question,
But will you come with me
Will you come with me
Will you come with me

I’m heavier than a horse without wings
I’ve got my bags, I’ve got my bottles, I’ve got a million things
But I learn as I go, I s’pose you would know
Yeah, I guess you should know
Cause you were made like me.

You’re paler than the moon on Saint John’s
You’re darker than the day I lost my faith in nothing
Cause something’s got into me
Something’s got into me
Something’s got into me

How dare I go on the road
When so many poor souls
They know better
Yes they know better
Little girls should know better

Sometimes you plus you equals me plus me minus you.
I can’t believe you ever thought that you could come with me.
Just like that, I’d just take you back.
Oh no, something’s got into you.
Boy you’re smart and all, I know, but you’ve got a long, long way…
Way to go.

I’m redder than the kerchief of San Fermin
The blood of ours and yours and theirs could never wash it clean
So we learn as we go, but why is it so slow
Tell me why are we so slow, to figure it out.

It’s survival of the fittest in a world of misery
Where heroes are but legends yet they live ‘mongst you and me
It’s tit for tat, it’s this or that, we know it well, we judge it all too well.

Sometimes the price of the truth is far too steep
And the secrets we keep won’t let us sleep
No they won’t let us sleep, why can’t we let them go
Why don’t we let them go
Why won’t we let them go
Why won’t you let me go
Just let me go, please just let me go
Let me go!
