MIDWAY PARK

I'll ride with you tonight, I'll ride forever
There's no way to predict this kind of weather
Ashes fall to earth, the words are severed
Feathers turn to weighted iron pillars
In Midway Park
Streetlights shine on a road that is dark
Down on the graves where we'll lie
We'll lie   we'll lie
I'll think of you tonight, I'll think forever
There's no way to predict this kind of weather
Ashes fall to earth, the words are severed
Feathers turn to broken beads in pillars
In Midway Park
Streetlights shine on a road that is dark
Down on the graves where we'll lie
We'll lie   we'll lie
Don't tell the truth, we'll lie
Roll your eyes


BLACK ARROW, BLEEDING HEART

Throwing rocks at a window
Stumble into a telphone pole
While the light shines down on your person
Filtering through all your aversions
Love will not find you tonight
When you're preaching love, thinking love
Holding back
What were you thinking
When black arrows
Shot at your bleeding heart?

Looking into the mirror
Don't like what I see
Ain't looking like me
I want to be near her
There's no way in hell
And there's no time to tell
Love will not find you tonight
When you're preaching love, thinking love
Holding back
What were you thinking
When black arrows
Shot at your bleeding heart?


MATRIMONY

Well I'm saving this dress
For my wedding day,
Because my mama
Wouldn't have it any other way.
She says when she married
Her waist was 23
I guess I'll never wear it anyway
I don't believe I care to marry,
Though I cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me
That Matrimony is misery,
Simply a faster way to die.
Well I'm saving all my money
For my wedding day
Because my mama
Wouldn't have it any other
She says when she married,
She didn't have a dime
But I think I'll spend that money
Some other way
I'm saving my best thing
For my wedding day
Because my papa
Wouldn't have it any other way
He says if I lose it early
I'll have thrown my life away
But I swear I'll use my cherry my own way.
