Dave Hause - The Shine lyrics

It was exponential Memphis from a thousand feet But when we landed we were black and blue Running through the city with apocalypse eyes Just miles of streets with nothing to do Your warm heart had been frozen by some cold ideas You tried to tell me but it came out wrong I changed my strings, shaved my face and Locked myself into the tower of song It gets lonely in the tower of song But I don't stutter when I sing My melodies grow little wings Huddled here grinding tears into red wine Meet the darkness with the shine We've got all our sons and daughters virgin blood on our hands They'll be the offspring of these ugly wars But if we k** off all our devils, will our angels die? I found love living life like a who*e So here's some trusty chords and a melody A pound of flesh for the brutal throng For the heretics and walking dead and red headed girls From the fool up in the tower of song I'm a fool in a tower of song Make the lonely fool smile, sing along Cause we don't stutter when we sing Our melodies grow little wings Huddled here grinding tears into red wine Meet the darkness with the shine If you've got the shine, shine on
