townes van zandt – lungs (live at carnegie hall 1969) lyrics
[verse 1]
well won’t you lend your lungs to me?
mine are collapsing
plant my feet and bitterly breathe
up the time that’s p-ssing
breath i’ll take and breath i’ll give
pray the day’s not poison
stand among the ones that live
in lonely indecision
[verse 2]
my fingers walk the darkness down
mind is on the midnight
gather up the gold you’ve found
you fool, it’s only moonlight
and if you try to take it home
your hands will turn to b-tter
you better leave this dream alone
try to find another
[verse 3]
salvation sat and crossed herself
and called the devil partner
wisdom burned upon a shelf
who’ll k!ll the raging cancer
seal the river at its mouth
take the water prisoner
ah fill the sky with screams and cries
bathe in fiery answers
[verse 4]
well jesus was an only son
and love his only concept
but strangers cry in foreign tongues
and dirty up the doorstep
and i for one, and you for two
ain’t got the time for outside
but keep your injured looks to you
and we’ll tell the world that we tried
