Splinter Down |
| See you hunkered on the ground |
| Magnifying glass in hand |
| Can you focus in one spot for long enough? |
| If you see the whispered smoke |
| Curling vine-like from a leaf |
| You will turn the glass on me |
| That I know for sure |
| Pass the boneyard on the left |
| There’s a secret that I keep |
| Like a tick upon my skin |
| I will take you to that place |
| If you leave your glass behind |
| Not afraid to say «I am afraid» |
| You’ve got to learn which logs to cure |
| Which ones to burn |
| If I rake up all my wits |
| Pile them up into a heap |
| There’s no guarantee that you won’t be the wind |
| Turn a placid day in fall |
| Into a hurricane |
| So if I stay inside again, some windows down |
| You know I’m saying |
| You’ve got to learn which logs to burn |
| Which ones to cure |
| And I wanna say this now |
| When I see you with the timber I will splinter down |
| And paint your arms with scars |
| Paint your arms with scars |
| You won’t ever let me out |
| I won’t ever let you |
| That would serve me right |
| Would serve me all too right |
| That would serve me right |
| Would serve me all too right |
| Won’t hear you laugh in my face, what’s your name? |
| Throw down your axe, you’re a mess, what a shame |
| You’ve got to learn which logs to burn |
| Which ones to cure |
| And you know it’s now |
| Not long before the fire’s spent |
| And all your trouble’s gone to waste |
| Gone to waste |
| You’ve got to learn which ones to burn |
| Which ones to cure |
| Which ones to do something with |
| You’ve got to learn |
| Which ones will burn you |
| And which ones will splinter down and paint your pretty arms with scars |
