The Blackbyrds - The One-Eye Two-Step lyrics

Fire on the porch on a summer's night All of my things are there inside Black smoke rise up, now burn on, burn higher I smell leaves and burning tires Dogs in the meadows barking wild Blackbird rise up and tell me what have you done I'm not drunk and I'm not sad There's nothing inside that I want back Let me touch your lips, let me see where you're at Do you wonder how I am tonight Don't lose time looking in my eyes Not every tear means you're gonna cry From the bottom of my heart Comes a cold dark feeling There is nothing but dust In the layers I'm peeling From the bottom of my heart Beats a rattling drum Coming up from the depths Into the rays of the sun Now under crushing skies of grays Paralyzed with phantom pains Before this room became just a place Where I just sleep through endless days Spinning webs and carving names Where thoughts break up exploding in space But I once crossed a quarter mile Through black pools of razor wires Cut through the steel with the edge of a file While singing rhapsodies in stride Hellbent and dignified Now my time has come Who you fooling and why? From the bottom of my heart Comes a cold dark feeling There is eminent d**h To the promise I'm keeping From the bottom of my heart Comes an army of one Marching back up the steps Into the rays of the sun Pale-faced and hollowed eyes Buried under ruptured skies Not every smile means I'm laughing inside Two-face and compromised I've enraptured you with lies Everything means nothing And tonight everything is mine From the bottom of my heart Comes a cold dark feeling I have buried so much In the layers I'm peeling From the bottom of my heart A battle will come Marching back up the steps Into the rays of the sun From the bottom of my heart Comes a cold dark feeling Wrapped around tight With no sign of leaving From the bottom of my heart A ballad is sung Through a whisper she comes Into the rays of the sun
