Salt

No life, no life without a fall
Now the wind has swept us all
Down to this mission wall
And the love, the love we pray to keep
Has buried us so deep
And me singing this same sad song
How I fell into her arms
Her warm and loving arms
She said, "You can never be free
You can never be like me"
Now I'm a mad dog and I'm mean
Now you honey or my queen
Let us sleep tomorrow
In the mellow wallow
Oh, there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow I shout

We will never have it all
Tonight I'm screaming at the wall
Peel the paint off with my ring
Such material has no choice
I peel the paint off with my voice
Curse this city's deep, black soul
Now I'm sleeping on the floor
Honey, I'm soaking wet and
Oh, they're coming now
They're coming now
They're coming for me
As long as we are free
We'll be doomed to live and die
Under the great suburban sky
And I'll always holler
In the mellow wallow
Oh, there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow
Jesus

Head of heaven, head of hell
You are treating me quite well
Washed me up upon a shore
Now I'm scratching down your door
All the words become my hymns
Cold and broken on the floor
Peeling gooseflesh off your back
Pulling back your long, black hair
Now this beauty is my queen
Skinny arms so very slow
A perfume neck and a blanket ???
Oh, what beauty, oh, what ???

I will sleep tomorrow
And in the mellow wallow
Oh, there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow
I had a fall to be a controller
Lost and swept away
I will always wait up
Won't you listen now
Let me sleep tomorrow away

We'll never have it all
Now the wind has swept us all
Down to this mission wall
And see, the rhythm is your hand
Speed the rhythm, speed the band
This is the bright amphetamine sky
