lyrics

I shut my door in a hurry
I see the storm dancing dizzy
Off in the distance
Thunder has had too much wine
And he makes his wife cry
And he wakes the kid

There are flashes in the blackness
There are flashes in the blackness
And there is magic in the madness
There is magic in the madness

The wise fool wakes up
And saunters down to the cafe
He sees all the faces in primary colors
He don't hear a word that I say
But I say "I really can't stay"
And he says "Why don't you stay"

And I will be your lost
Your straying
Your little lamb
And things will grow
And things will die

I ain't paid no mind to the stars lately
And it makes me feel as old as they
I ain't paid no mind to the sky lately
and it makes me makes me blue
As blue as it's gray

And I will be your lost
your straying
your little lamb
And things will die
And things will grow
