lyrics

I split my lip
By the old carousel
Stood still on a yellow road
Under an old yellow moon as well

There lived a carpenter
He would laugh when I would frown
Bruises in winter and redwood that splintered
Covered his skin and the ground

Would you burn it all down
To build it back up again
Or would you have a very nice life
And think about God sometimes

When your lover came home
After leaving in the night
Did you tremble like a flame when they were calling out your name
Or did you stand up and put up a fight

I met a young boy prospector
Opening up the ground
Tidal waves and barricades
Were all that he’d found

When we most wanted it
In our greatest hour of greed
The dust cracked and spit
At all our strange beliefs

Would you burn it all down
To build it back up again
Or would you have a very nice life
And think about God sometimes

I've done it again
The falling on my face
I'm a fool when I'm in the love
I'm a king when I'm in disgrace
