Talking big on a train through an Empire town
Glad to sneak through the best of police siren sound
Used to fights, used to flight, this is nice for now
Two bags of light back again in an Empire town
I came to cure, so now you know I keeps my word
Darkest are the things we've done, the things we'll do
Arrow true, I protects you...
But I took the drug
I took the drug and I drugged it down
It folded, it bent my brains into a crown
To a place on my head at the end of my life
Or who knows? Maybe just the end of tonight
Or who knows? Maybe I have already died
So I drift along...
I drift along. I lost the war
I throw out my crown. I'll sing no more
But just as the swamp s**s The Crown down its throat
There's a snap and it's magically back in my boat
A flash in the sky is what's catching my eye
A tear drops from space in a heavenly spike
The irony doesn't escape me tonight
There's no one there, but the Devil and I
A flash in the sky...
What's catching my eye is a flash in the sky
The flash is a man falling down through the night
The man should be panicked: the man's hands are tied
The man grabs two handfuls of Thunder and Light
The man's limbs come loose in a burst, holy bright
The chains turn to flies and the smoke turns to flies
They called it a fall and they all were half-right
My hands had to clap. The Miraculous Dive
No splash. He vanishes silent
Just circles, moving out from a point, but the swamp is glowing
From the depths, I hear a voice;
Singing an old song; turning my blues on
"Hey Kid-I-Call-No-Shoes, why are you waiting around?
We must get going through the doors we came through
Back to what-went-wrong, back to the mansion."
There's no one there, but the Devil and I
