lyrics

Monster Swan Blues

My boat is full of stones
I'm running out of all the usual excuses
I can think of for you but I'll try
My eyes are darkening
You're trying to explain
Your words blow in the wind
A million miles, a million miles
You'll play the swan
I'll be the monster so let's run

You've got a lot to say
But I've seen chaos as it reigns
And every time it goes
A little deeper to the bone
I am the same as you
If I'm a monster so are you
And I can run away
But I'll be back again
You'll play the swan
I'll be the monster so let's run

Run me right out of town
Before my feet get caught on that same old hate again
Run me right out of town
Before my feet get caught on those same old lies again
Run me right out of town, right out of town

The rage that's in your eyes
The empty nights, the sad goodbyes
I'm hiding in the trees
With this disguise you'll never see
And when you turn around
The only friend you've ever known is blowing in the wind
A million miles and million miles
You'll play the swan
I'll be the monster so let's run

Well run me right out of town
Before my feet get caught on that same old hate again
Run me right out of town
Before my feet get caught on those same old lies again
Run me right out of town, right out of town

Run me right out of town
Before my feet get caught on that same old hate again
Run me right out of town
Before my feet get caught on those same old lies again
Run me right out of town, right out of town

My boat is full of stones
I'm running out of all the usual excuses
I can think of for you but I'll try
You'll play the swan
I'll be the monster so let's run
