Lyrics:
I can’t stay
I’m in a cave of lack
Run away
It always brings me back

When I try
To cut my soul in two
There was nothing much inside
Except the dregs of youth

Everybody had to shine
Because they want to be unkind
With glistening skin
You walked right in

Terrorize
To run me for a shelter
Find it out quick
There was no reason shame

If you want to paint my town
They way it should be done
Go in and out and up and down
Until the rattlesnakes run

I know that you try to weep
Underneath the guise of sleep
And baby I could share
My Chinese chair

The summer luv distorts me back there ….
Back to that time I did aspire

Your supervision drew me back there….

Into the restless time you keep

I don’t need you messing with my high
No party favors, no replies
I’m not gonna resuscitate your mood
I got my rattlesnakes run

Everybody knows your chase
Will be on the Light Sunshine
From the height of Man
You might understand
