marah - tramp art lyrics

Loading...

beauty, kin to blindness
remind us that we need not look away
but fix our roving eyes upon
the only road we’re travelin’ today

and follow tuneless troubled rhymes
through the ancient garden vines
we kiss and leave our girls to wine
left inside the bottle

when i couldn’t talk to you, my friend
i vowed to push no better than i’d steer
let intuition run the band
to somewhere bad, then better, back to here
now the old myth lying travеl+worn
cryin’ ‘peace’ and whispering ‘war’
it’s midnight on thе bathroom floor
before they really hear you
oh my darling (oh my darling)

still the vile winds that howl
turn us roses back to weeds
i implore your mercy now
to keep from talking (to keep from talking)
we slaved from can to can’t
and found ourselves inside the simple, sad art of the tramp

fizzy water, sad cafe
the turkish in italian play
the music of a rainy day
their arks are made for raining

i’m blue smoke on the black c+n+l
i’m mississippi but i don’t know how
to turn around and take a bow
even if that seems played out

i can’t get down and i shan’t get down
melodies still roll around
below empty, it’s hard for me
all silver tape and frayin’
oh my darling
still the vile winds that howl
turn these roses back to weeds
i implore your mercy now
it takes forever
for the circle’s endless vamp
to go round and round and round and round
the sad eyes of you tramp

like rings around the moon
like rings around the moon
like rings around the moon

legally drunk as the sun goes down
would you cry if i died or just sit around?
pass the buck to the next diamond crown
or sell yourself short at the lost and found

i bought that brain at a five and dime
traded ‘er in for a better time
you came home to see my dry eyes cryin’
like everything melts into once in a while

through the tears and fears of another man’s life
we’ve come to the middle all stuck to the knife
i sailed them away on a runaway kite
i packed up my car and i moved to the night
threw darts at the moon
danced on the sun
cheered like the devil so sure that i’d won
but every little pound felt like a ton
coming down on me, spoiled my fun

so how’d you get so broken down?
how’d you get so broken down?
how’d you get so broken down?

beauty, kin to blindness
remind us we need not look away
