silver shone the rooftops
i heard the words 'you will'
and realized that in your eyes
the force of love could kill
when hope held out of it's hands today
you laughed and turned and fled
'cause i wanted the world
now i've thrown them away
i'm here and i'm hungry and i hope i can stay
the sun has shed it's light
and all that's left to warm your breast's the wine we stole tonight
bottle merchants both of us
and watched them fall like magic in the streets
standing in our new boots
we've lost the urge to hide
we left it with the souvenirs that forced us to decide
how we'd storm the palace
there's plenty bread and water here for anyone who waits
but you can't remember where you squandered your hope
a fistful of dollars and a fistful of dope
with your hands in your hair and your hair in your face
you'd better summon your soul because we're leaving this place
