SHADOW OF A NOOSE

Paved lanes top of earth, 'neath sky's
Sphere shaped full circle, dreams die
All my hopes this world pillaged
Four billion years ain't nothing new
You hang in empty space, like junkies in the night
That's the way I feel about you

You came into my life
Baby, when I had the noose just right
One touch, you knew all that I'm going through
That's the way I feel bout you

Let's get one thing straight 
Just 'cause you answered fate, this ain't no date
I've been down before, I've been vindictive, settled the score
What makes you think I'm worth savin?
She said, "in every Hell there's a slice of Heaven
In every tough guy, there's a little kid, bout six or seven
It's not so bad, whatever you're going through
That's the way I feel bout you."

You came into my life
Baby, when I had the noose just right
One touch, you knew all that I'm going through
That's the way I feel bout you
