lyrics

I treated freedom like a dubious lover
When we’ve already fucked and sobered up
I was searching for the center
Of this misbegotten sinner’s heart
But all I found was blood and rust
An evangelist that watched me full of lust
And some lilies that were trampled in the dust
Oh why

I’ve seen lights
Lights that blind your eyes
I’ve said things
That made my mouth go dry
I’ve seen kings
Howling at the sky
And now
I’m an untamed weather vane

I was heading down to Austin
Hitched a ride with a trucker
But he stole my dreams as I slept
I came across a strip joint
It tasted like a cigarette
Inside Ophelia of the stage
Was naked as they floated her away
Her lily eyes begged for me to stay
And wait

I’ve seen lights
Lights that blind your eyes
I’ve said things
That made my mouth go dry
I’ve seen kings
Howling at the sky
And now
I’m an untamed weather vane

The tourniquet years
The finding out all I am able
It’s them tourniquet years
The ocean is meant as a fable

I’ve seen lights
Lights that blind your eyes
I’ve said things
That made my mouth go dry
I’ve seen kings
Howling at the sky
And now
I’m an untamed weather vane
