Lyrics The Tide - Greg Dulli

Control
You whisper that
You know everything I got
I'm a wreck when I find out
What this is for

See the writing on the stair
Immolation in the air
Without a trace
And I so softly disappear

Like the wind
I got things to do
Before I fade away

You can steal me blind
But you will never find
You will never find

And I told you how to surf that tidal wave
You know many ways to buy another day
But a simple lie can play out like a curse
Never better but forever at your worst

Let us go deep now
Should your will define you
Let's all take a bow

You can steal me blind
But you will never find
You will never

Somebody's in the way
Somebody's in the wave
Like you right here by my side
And millionaires read your scripture
On the stairs

You're an island
You're an island

And a simple lie can play out like a curse
Never better but forever at your worst
And I never got to thank her for the ride
Each and every time
She's so heavy
Heavy (heavy)
Heavy (heavy)
Heavy (heavy)
Heavy
