well, i know
you couldn't love me
'cause you're promised to
a wealthy man
take a look
what you are you seeing?
is that a noose, or a wedding band?
should i go
to see a healer
nervous twitching in my hands

god help me rid this feeling
'cause i'm falling all to pieces
and i can't get out of bed

beggars and hangers-on
try to take you from me
someone with a bible in his pocket
clouding everything you see

beggars and hangers-on
they chip it away
bury your soul in the river
'cause the end is hear to stay

god help me rid this feeling
'cause i'm falling all to pieces
and i can't get out of bed

i was wrong
i don't need you
seems reckless
and unfair
better days
are far behind me
guess that's another cross
i'll have to bear

i know that there's a time and a reason
to take that ghost and lock up inside
and maybe i am down, but i'm not beaten
like anything, we were born to die

beggars and hangers on
try to take you from me
someone with a bible in his pocket
clouding everything you see

beggars and hangers on
they chip it away
bury you soul in the river
'cause the end is here to stay
beggars and hangers on


snakepit.BACK AND FORTH AGAIN
now, you've slipped away
and found a place to stay
who do i congratulate?
but i'm happy for you
where are you today?
i sense that you're afraid?
and i don't know what to do

i miss you but what does it change?
this confusion feels the same
forget you and let you leave
but i'm still thinking it through
it's been the conflict between us
that's kept me from sinking before
you drove me crazy and i let you
come do it some more
put the past to bed
we've done it before

now we're back and forth again
can we help this pointless thing?
swinging like a hinge
to the place we always meet

there's nothing to say
except loneliness is strange
'cause you were the face
that i can never leave
and i know you're going to call
'cause you know just where i'll be
won't you come and find me here?
i'll be happy for me
so happy to be
not alone anymore
we've done it before

now we're back and forth again
can we help this pointless thing?
swinging like a hinge
to the place we always meet

it's such a shame how little things
can change your mind
don't just sit there filing your nails
and passing the time
i can't let you bottle it up
and take it too far
carrying all of that weight
is the hardest part

now we're back and forth again
can't help this pointless thing
swinging like a hinge
to the place we always meet
back and forth again
