My best friend knows this old guy who
Who keeps a picture in his shoe
He takes it out after a spell
Says - s e e
Shouldn't stare that way so long baby...
Stare holes into the walls
My dress hangs here for you to wear out
I walked in beauty too, till I met you
Here hangs this chain
This thing this old girl keeps
We got it easy
So why do you stare that way so long
Stare holes into the walls
We're all honey
Dripping through the honey chain
And lay our lives down
Down and pretty
In the honey chain
Please don't stare that way so hard baby...
Stare holesYou were a cast away from New Orleans
Fought the world to find your dreams (Oh yeah)
Almost starved to death because you had no money
Sold your soul for blood and honey (Oh yeah)
Cars crash and we collide
As the siren sings the saddest song tonight
And this is it, how it all comes down
To the blood you would leave
On the streets of your hometown
At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine
I was a cast away from New Orleans
Fought the world and found my dreams
Your heart had to let me go
And now I’d rather die than ever be alone
