Song For T.W.

Violence was in style As the sun broke without fade Traveling on your tight rope Without humor or charade The shoulders left to lean on Were all back-broken and swayed By your trials of biography You little renegade Sell your lonesome for love She'll be everything you could ask for Sell your lonesome for life She'll be everything you need Swinging on a tripwire, singing "The boys are back in town" But your voice is nothing permanent Systemize the day She came and made you feel calm Relax, return To where you wandered from You don't want to see how this story ends The circus leaves town The big tops fall again But you're smarter than the rest Yeah, you're so smarter than the rest Insist you're best Until the rest are not around Sell your lonesome for love She'll be everything you could ask for Sell your lonesome for life She'll be everything you need
