Lyrics:
It was all on me.
Heaven descend.
Voice of a friend.
I could die happy
if I started again.
Started again.
It was all on me.
Time would bend
like a drunken tree.
**What makes me lose my head?
Love and memory.
Why toss and turn in bed?
Love and memory.
On a lonely street,
children still play.
Families still eat.
Father tells Eugene
he’ll only meet God
if the kitchen is clean.
This is not on me.
Time would bend
like a drunken tree.
**
Smile so gapped,
like a stray dog’s teeth.
Blue Cadillac. In the leather seat
I sat.
I had the sling pulled back.
Heaven is a junkyard,
and I’m at home.
Heaven is a junkyard,
and I’m at home.
Heaven is a junkyard,
and it’s my home.
