You trade in time
For the victory smile
I'm spinning high
Like the tin moon on fire
Yeah it's been a long ride
But I'm still looking for mine
Yeah it's been a long time

I spelled my name
On your up and down beat
I called for rain
But they gave us Eight Street
Yeah you're on the TV
And paid for faking the bleed
Yeah it's been a long time

Say your time keeps a little fast
Say your heart beats blue and black
Say your love grows with poison grass
Say you won't leave

I'm making frames
For the vision you see
I took your place
Where the cannonball sleeps
Yeah it couldn't be free
But I would've given you cheap
Yeah it's been a long time

Say your time keeps a little fast
Say your heart beats blue and black
Say your love grows with poison grass
Say you won't leave

Say your time keeps a little fast
Say your heart beats blue and black
Say your love grows with poison grass
Say you won't leave
