A Place To Lay The Blame

Well, ya say your heart is breakin' Well, your heart must be mistaken, you'll pull-through While the mist of love is fadin' You'll be left with all the takin' that you do And your hang-arounds will distract you But your conscience will attack you And you'll run in circles on the crowded plane With no place to lay the blame Now, all the big wheels and carousels May be good for you but I can't tell what for Well, they keep you lookin' at the stars And walkin' in and out of bars for one more Until you stumble to your apartment But there's a traitor in that department And you'll struggle to find a shelter when it rains And a place to lay the blame Well, I went to see your healer And it seems she's just a dealer in disguise Well, she talks a mystic game But her visions are the same as telling lies And now her hands, they hang there shakin' But the ghosts, they won't awaken And the dreadful note of past love still remains And there's no place to lay the blame Well, Lily Bell, she's a friend of mine And she spoils me with cheap red wine for free And she holds me close and whispers sweet But I think of you every time we meet, you see And now she's asking me for a vow But I just can't remember how And the thought of makin' love still brings me pain And there's no place to lay the blame So I traveled through the highlands To a thousand tiny islands in the sea And by the water's edge I cast a stone And fell down off a crumblin' throne in the breeze And in this emptiness I'm stranded Where all the angels have been abandoned And your one last look and kiss were both in vain And there's no place to lay the blame
