Lyrics




I used to wake and I'd run with the moon
I lived like a rake and a young man
I covered my lovers in the flowers and wounds
My laughter the devil would frighten
And the sun, she'd come and beat me back down
And every cruel day has a nightfall
And I welcomed them stars with wine and guitar
So full of fire and forgetful
And my body was sharp, my talk is so clean
Outrage, my favorite companion
And the beautiful women, how sweet they did seem
Kneeling for me to command them
And time was a river but I was the sea
How could I notice it passing?
Except for the turning of night into day
And the turning of the day into cursing
Well, I used to wake and I'd run with the moon
Yeah, I lived like a rake and a young man
I covered my lovers in the flowers and wounds
My laughter the devil would frighten
And the sun, she'd come and beat me back down
And every cruel day has a nightfall
And I welcomed them stars with wine and guitar
Full of fire and forgetful
So full of fire and forgetful
Full of fire and forgetful
So full of fire and so forgetful
