Would?

Know me broken by my master
Teach thee on child of love hereafter
Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way
Drifting body, it's sole desertion
Flying not yet, quite the notion
Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way
Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Am I wrong?
Have I run too far to get home?
Have I gone?
And left you here alone?
Am I wrong?
Have I run too far to get home?
Have I gone?
And left you here alone?
If I would, could you?

Would?

Another Nail In My Heart

The case was pulled from under the bed
She made a call to a sympathetic friend and made arrangements
The door was closed, there was a note
I couldn't be bothered, maybe I'll choke, no more engagements
With where-have-you-beens and far away frowns
Trying to be good by not being 'round
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
That stupid old bug that kills only love
I want to be good, is that not enough
So play me the song that makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
Then play me the song that makes it so tough

Another Nail For My Heart
I had excuses, those little boy lies
That she computed by watching my eyes and told me firmly
She couldn't stand it, I'm bad on her heart
She dropped her make-up and I found the bar, now it concerns me
I've had a bad time, now love is resigned
I've been such a fool, I've loved and goodbyed
So here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart

Break the Black Ice

Time for sleep
Time for prayers
Time for dusk
Dust in eyes
Grinning jaws
Grit in teeth
All things pass
Death and deeds
Break the black ice
In this earth
In this town
In this land
In this hour
In this time
For this age
In this flesh
In this joining

Break the black ice
In this spasm
In this jerk
In this crib
A little death
For this boy
Little screams
A little blood
A tattooed rune
Break the black ice
In this kiss (not mine not yours)
In this curse (not mine not yours)

Crash

Here you go, way too fast
Don't slow down, you're gonna crash
You should watch, watch your step
Don't look out, gonna break your neck
So shut, shut your mouth
'Cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough, enough of you
Enough to last a lifetime through
So what do you want of me
Got no words of sympathy
And if I go around with you
You know that I get messed up, too
With you
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Here you go, way too fast
Don't slow down, you're gonna crash
You don't know what's been going down
You've been running all over town
So shut, shut your mouth
'Cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough, enough of you
Enough to last a lifetime through
So what do you want of me
Got no cure for misery
And if I go around with you
You know that I get messed up, too
With you
With you
With you

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(Slow down, you're gonna crash)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(Slow down, you're gonna crash)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(Slow down, you're gonna crash)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(Slow down, you're gonna crash)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(Slow down, you're gonna crash)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(Slow down, you're gonna crash)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(Slow down, you're gonna crash)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
