My, my, we roll
Look how well we set the tone
Don’t, look, we say
Fix this fall another day
Burn, bay, be burn
Work too hard to live and learn
Hey, Jack, don’t play
Live to work another day
This, fire, will run
But look how mobile we’ve become
Too, late, they say
Get so good at runnin away
Step, on, those lines
Don’t look up to see the signs
Rise, Fall, get up
Just don’t spill your coffee cup
(Prechorus)
No one will ever say I told you so
No one will ever say they didn’t
know
(Chorus)
More in than out now
We break the levee down
Less bold more faded old
Bathing in the black for gold
The takers run this town
We barely make a sound
More fold a stronger hold
Bathing in the black for gold
(don’t stop to watch the children play
just give their dreams and
hopes away
it doesn’t make us lose much sleep
we play to win we play for keeps
in fashion now to mock the fall
we turn to God, say bless us all
we ask the heavens for a sign
then close our eyes pretend we’re blind)
(Chorus)
My, my, we roll
Look how well we set the tone
Don’t, look, we say
Fix this fall another day
Burn, baby burn
Work too hard to live and learn
Hey, Jack, don’t play
Live to work another day
Put on
Put on your faces say
Get up, get up you gotta go
Let up
Let up the leash then say
Put up, put up the selling show
Get up
Get up
Get up
You say
Get up
Get up and go
Sit up
Sit up and lead yeah say
Sit up, sit up it’s time to go
Gold and silver still will shine
Brighter in your hands than mine
Hold your hands as high as mine
High enough to touch the sky
And Burn
Pull on
Pull on the need yeah say
Sit on, sit up you are the show
Put on
Put on the feed yeah say
Take it, take it and let it go
Come on
Come on
Come on
You say
Come on
Come on, no
Let up
Let up the leash yeah say
Take it, take it and let it go
Gold and still will shine
Brighter in your hands than mine
Hold your hands as high as mine
High enough to touch the sky
And Burn
Let me burn
Trust… is the word that won’t match you
Enough… I can’t
tell you what to do - anymore
Love… you’ll never love another
more
More… than you’ve ever loved your self(HOLD)
(Chorus)
This lovely liar
A soul survivor
I walk the wire
A man on fire
Bring… me your words
Leave… all your promises behind
Ask… me the only favor
That…. I can never show you
(Chorus)
This lovely liar
A soul survivor
I walk the wire
A man on fire
Break… every promise that you’ve given
Leave… empty
handed with your heart wide open
Give… endlessly of your emotions
Just… enough to open up the
others
Just like always
I am not the man you’d think
Would tell
you stories
I would never be that fake
Even if all of you left me
I am not the one
To trample again – all
your saving grace
And I’d never be that fine
Would you say never
Or wait forever
(Chorus)
Lie awake – and pray yourself
to sleep
Drinking all your lies
Don’t let me break – all those
games you play
Don’t wanna hear you say never again
Never say never again
And all the days go by you’re waiting
on
Someone to call your name
And begging for a sign
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you
That I could end this game
Don’t you dare make up your mind
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
When you leave today don’t say a word
Cuz in your jaded way you know that you’ll be heard
Wish that I could say I’ll be ok
Between the both of us there’s nothing I can say
I feel you when you riseSee it in your eyes
You’re leaving, no surprise
I feel you when you rise
I hear you say that life is beautiful
I see you dressed in white, yet it’s never suitable
Can’t even feign to try to be unusual
Every page inscribed with something I can’t hold
Then it’s in and out, you’re out of time
You never stay, you go, you keep the tone
Yet you feel your way through another day
And leave me all alone
Cut me open with you hands
And burn me with you eyes
This love is more than we both can stand
And it shouldn’t be no surprise
I wrote down these words for you
And I hope they do you well
Cuz every word that I say is true
But you’re the only one I can tell
So we say goodbye- maybe someday
Until the next time we can’t stay away
And it’s a cheap lie
In a cheaper disguise but it’s the only way we ever knew
The worst part of doing your best, baby’s
When your best just won’t do
And it’s a shame
Cuz I wrote this song for you
You’re thinking of me while you’re far away
And dancing in the rain
I try forgetting every memory but you keep coming back again
It’s not so easy when I’m lonely
My heart keeps telling me you’re the one and only
I remember every morning after
What I wouldn’t give to hear your laughter
What I wouldn’t give just to hear you say
Say you’ll stay with me just one more day
Creep up the road
Just to lay me down
There’s a feeling going round the way
Turn on the cold
Hear the seething sound
As the death defying demons play
Don’t change a note
For the feeble aged
You’re the only one that’s gonna play
Go it on your own
With your wager played
You know how much you’ll pay just to stay
I’m maybe not the righteous sculptor
But I’ll turn the endings
over
And I’ll dig the ditches that will wash away the blame
I’m maybe
not the righteous soldier
But I’ll fight the war’s not over
And I’ll burn the bridges
with your suicidal flame
Run down the line
When she lays it down
All the people say it’s not the way
Obey the signs
In this one-horse town
And be careful not to go astray
Can you provoke
All of those who hate
Or will you let yourself just walk away
Blind to the bone
1st class and 2nd rate
Scream at the rain until your dying day
I’m maybe not the righteous sculptor
But I’ll turn the endings
over
And I’ll dig the ditches that will wash away the blame
I’m maybe
not the righteous soldier
But I’ll fight the war’s not over
And I’ll burn the bridges
with your suicidal flame
And I’ll dig the ditches that will wash away
the blame
I’m maybe not the righteous soldier
But I’ll fight the war’s
not over
And I’ll burn the bridges with your suicidal flame
One time runaway
A two time holiday
One stop right away
A two time runaway
One time neglected
Makes a real cool hand out
of nothing- man- respect it
She’s the one that says aint nothing
coming free
She got a hold on the worst damn part of
me
(Chorus)
I’m a stranger
She’s in danger
Aint gonna stop a little Tramp Stamp Runaway
I’m a stranger
She’s in danger
Aint gonna stop a little Tramp Stamp Runaway
She fell in love with a different kind of
simple man
Painted twice with a special blend of slow
hand
Turned down by a sentimental cheap skate
She’s gonna run boy, run
from the mission gate
I’m in danger runnin to the night train
She’s
a stranger a dirty little runaway
I’m gonna say - the favor aint comin
free
Ain’t gonna pay - the flavor in front
of me
(Prechorus)
Lord above will you help me understand this
How she do what she do
with just a little kiss
I’m on a mission from the places where you
never go
I’m in search of your fire down below, say
(Chorus)
I’m a stranger
She’s in danger
Aint gonna stop a little Tramp Stamp Runaway
I’m a stranger
She’s in danger
Aint gonna stop a little Tramp Stamp Runaway
One time runaway
A two time holiday
One stop right away
A two time runaway
This one’ll put away the messenger
And when it’s dark man,
aint no second guessing her
There’s a fire burning bright down deep
ways
It’s gonna burn baby, burn this night away
Lord above will you help me understand this
How she do what she do with
just a little kiss
I’m on a mission from the places where you never
go
I’m in search of your fire down below
I’m a stranger
She’s in danger
Aint gonna stop a little Tramp Stamp Runaway
I’m a stranger
She’s in danger
Aint gonna stop a little Tramp Stamp Runaway
If we take our chances
Let our lives still age
Will we find the answers falling through the spaces
If our lives are over
With the time still flowing
Can we get from here to there and not know where
we’re going
My river dries to dust
While all the water runs away to you
And washes you away
It breaks the both of us
When all the water runs away to you
And washes you away
My river dries to dust
While all the water runs away to you
And washes you away
It breaks the both of us
When all the water runs away to you
And washes you away
I’m a true believer
In what you’ll say
But what you do won’t ever make it true-
no way
If the people pray
With their eyes still open
Then they’d find another person standing
in your place
You burn the others
You burn the others
You burn the others and save yourself
You burn the others
You burn the others
You burn the others and save yourself
My river dries to dust
While all the water runs away to you
And washes you away
It breaks the both of us
When all the water runs away to you
And washes you away
My river dries to dust
While all the water runs away to you
And washes you away
It breaks the both of us
When all the water runs away to you
And washes you away
Cold runs over
Head and shoulders
A deed to one side or a
Death-defying play
Strange love in the night,
To hell with wrong and right
The mess that I survived, it
Washes you away
Aim perfected
Time neglected
Avert your eyesight and your
Suicidal gaze
Jackknifed just to fill you
Blow kisses to kill you
Rain down fire
That washes you away
Trust in fallacy
Win your wish with me
I’ll let your love of life
It washes you away
And washes you away
And washes you away
And washes you away
Lyrics 2009 Echo Son
