lyrics

Your velvet skin is a catalyst.
The time it takes to elect a new president.
And four years later we're battling.
Time is wasted on roads that we've been traveling.

Take your canteen they're banishing.
You'll never see another day of embarrassment.
The kind of world that we're living in.
You take your pride with a grain of salt.
You lose or win.

And every day is a stronger wind.
The kind of breeze that defies all common sense.
The candle's burning the light is dim.
The picture frame is a relic of your lover's kiss.

The black and white sees the seven seas.
You radiate all the qualities that I need.
You're in and out with your vanity.
Your Texas take is a shortcut to infinity.

The three rivers all start to form.
The sun is shining ain't no threat of a thunderstorm.
There's happiness when a child is born.
The days go by, there's a notion that you have been warned.

Every day is a drop of gin.
The kind of battle that defies all common sense.
The candle's burning the light is dim.
The picture frame is a relic of your lover's kiss.

The blue and white they all ride tonight.
The kind of talk that makes sense in your mother's eyes.
They check your baggage they check it twice.
The kind of travel that allows you to sacrifice.

The queen is calling for proper force.
The minstrel men are breaking down all the doors.
You cannot capture the either/or.
The cannon ball is the center of the western world.

Not trying to lose not trying to win.
You take the masses but you'll never take the hearts of men.
And four years later we're battling.
And time is wasted on roads that we've been traveling.

And every day is a stronger wind.
The kind of breeze that defies all common sense.
The candle's burning the light is dim.
The picture frame is a relic of your lover's kiss.

Every day is a drop of gin.
The kind of battle that defies all common sense.
The candle's burning the light is dim.
The picture frame is a relic of your lover's kiss.
