35: LIGHT THE FUSE BLUES

                   

Well I don't want to play in your game.

Well I don't want to share in your fame.

Well I don't want to call you by name,

But I love you just the same.

 

And I don't want to pay your bills,

Or be a part of your cheap little thrills.

The knife that cuts is the knife that kills,

But I love you just the same.

 

Now if we run away with the blues,

I'm sure afraid your company I'll loose.

For all we'd need to light the fuse,

Is a match of which we get to choose,

We get to choose, we get to choose, for ourselves.

[So lets light it, and put sorrow upon the shelf.

And don't bite it, the hand that feeds itself.]  (2 times )

 

And now if we can learn from the past,

The lesson learned is sure to last.

Some light in our direction is cast,

And I love you just the same.

 

And if the people might say that I'm wrong,

Well let them write their own damn song.

I might sing it bad or say it wrong,

But I love you just the same.  (3 times )

 

Now if we run away with the blues,

I'm sure afraid your company I'll loose.

For all we'd need to light the fuse,

Is a match of which we get to choose,

We get to choose, we get to choose, for ourselves.

[So lets light it, and put sorrow upon the shelf.

And don't bite it, the hand that feeds itself.]  (2 times )
