Run down the mountain Run till you fall Hope be forgotten Woe to us all Leave me crystal waters Drawn from the creek Sit down beside me now When my limbs are weak Secrets I've kept from you You will someday learn And you must leave her never to return No return Cradled in the branches Or face down in a hole If you should fall behind Woe to us all Embers turn to ashes When there's nothing left to burn The flame has left them never to return No return So run down the mountain Run till you fall Hope be forgotten Woe to us all Woe to us all Woe to us all

I might be rightly accused Of dreaming out loud Trying to see things In every passing cloud Well I spent some time Consigned to the old scrap yard When I saw you face again It hit me kinda hard I got a little carried away But I’m OK now I got a little carried away But I’m OK now We pass like ships And then we drift apart I said I wanted nothing And I lied with all my heart I guess I got pretty good At avoiding all the traps If I start to waver It’s just a momentary lapse I got a little carried away But I’m OK now I got a little carried away But I’m OK now I might have to fake it But I’ll make it back somehow I’m OK now I’m OK now

I don't blame you for days we got caught in the sun I don't blame you for stickin' around when you probably shoulda run I guess we both got what we needed for a little while I can't blame you for the rain you chased away with a smile But why'd you have to ruin everything Why'd you have to ruin everything oh oh Why'd you have to ruin everything By saying that you love me By saying that you love me By saying that you love me when you know that we can never be I don't blame you for the miles that pass beneath your wheels Sometimes when you find yourself lost well I know how it feels When the lights are dim and the cheap whiskey goes down rough We wonder why we can't be happy with good enough But why'd you have to ruin everything Why'd you have to ruin everything oh oh Why'd you have to ruin everything By saying that you love me when you know that we can never be And I can't be your destination Just a lonely way station Left the light on for you Why'd you have to ruin everything Why'd you have to ruin everything oh oh Why'd you have to ruin everything Why'd you have to ruin everything

You don't have to tell me your story 'Cause I've seen those eyes in the mirror before And I can see that something is broken But nothing's gonna hurt you anymore And there's a mask you hide behind But take it off and I won't mind Scars that you don't want the world to see Baby you don't look so bad to me Damaged goods, damaged goods You and me, we're damaged goods Not entirely beyond repair Maybe a little bit worse for wear Damaged goods, damaged goods We've been wandering in the woods Looking for a place to share some company I was tossed about by misfortune Landed on your doorstep at last Sometimes I see faces in the shadows Sometimes I hear voices from the past And if I bolt awake at night No need to turn on the light You can just reach out and take my hand I know you can understand Damaged goods, damaged goods You and me, we're damaged goods Not entirely beyond repair Maybe a little bit worse for wear Damaged goods, damaged goods Our faces hiding in our hoods Looking for a place to share some company Now now now now now Now now now now now now And if you're frozen by your fear If the way ahead's unclear I may not know how to be your guide But I'll be right by your side Damaged goods, damaged goods You and me, we're damaged goods Not entirely beyond repair Maybe a little bit worse for wear Damaged goods, damaged goods We've been wandering in the woods Looking for a place to share some company

Cut Me Loose 03:18
Sunrise on a scarecrow Another night is done Riverbed waiting on the winter rain Rabbit on the run It’s another diary entry Journal of a wasted year Lonely eyes of the sentry Faithfully standing here And I suppose I served some purpose Hope I could be of some use What doesn’t kill us still can hurt us If you’re gonna cut me Just cut me Cut me loose Now there’s raven on a razor wire Coyote in the street Running away from the breaking day Blood dripping from her feet And I’m thumbing through the dog-eared pages Burned in our memories Lessons of the ages Turned into prophecies And I don’t want to sit here suffocating Silent as you tighten the noose So why are you still hesitating If you’re gonna cut me Just cut me Cut me loose And I don’t know how to say it any clearer Hope this doesn’t sound obtuse The danger is drawing ever nearer If you’re gonna cut me Cut me Cut me Cut me loose

Stumbling out of the darkness I was a man on the make Pushing ever faster Leaving disaster in my wake I’ve made a fine mess and called it art Trying to get lost when I don’t know where to start You might as well throw a dart and see where it lands Best laid plans Best laid plans Batten down the hatches kids We’re headed for a hurricane We’re gonna join the chorus of the cannonballs In that glorious refrain But when the battle cries rang hollow With the lies that we couldn’t swallow It was no surprise we failed to follow commands Best laid plans Best laid plans Best laid plans Just slippin’ right through your hands Now I’m sifting through the driftwood That’s been gathering here for years And now become a princely sum Of trinkets and souvenirs But success it seems is harder to measure Than the youthful dreams of a life of leisure Lost like buried treasure beneath the sands Best laid plans Best laid plans Just slippin’ right through your hands
