Bernard Fanning - Drake lyrics

We meet with a handshake a smile and a sneer But the malice is lurking beneath the veneer As the light flickers out on the beacon of hope Throw a bone to the kid on the ropes Throw a bone to the kid on the ropes As the light flickers out on the beacon of hope Throw a bone to the kid on the ropes You were briefly embraced by a spirit of trust But it soon blows away in a grey cloud of dust Now you're not really sure who to blame or to thank With your boat drifting into the bank With your boat drifting into the bank Now you're not really sure who to blame or to thank With your boat drifting into the bank With a blanket of truth there to cushion your fall Now we both have our truths but yours ain't mine at all sponsored links And without a foundation to hold it in place It disappears without leaving a trace We peel back the skin on eve's apple of faith Let the curtain come down on this sad cabaret Just like prisoners rot in their cells with disdain We sit counting the ring on our chains We sit counting the rings on our chains Just like prisoners rot in their cells with disdain We sit counting the rings on our chains
