Mornings like this I feel like leaving Though I'll have to hollow out my heart I'm scraping out the insides of a pumpkin Paint a twisted face and carve it out Paint a twisted face and carve it out Dress it up like someone else's nightmare Candle flickering alive inside And now I'll keep it scowlin' on the doorstep of my love So others are afraid to go inside So others are afraid to go inside I've tried hard, oh darlin' To keep the balance too But it's not me, it's you Who's kicking us back and forth like this Cold nights like this I feel like stayin' In the darkness and the comfort of my cave There's somethin' there for every little daydream A spark that flickers up and turns to flame A spark that flickers up and turns to flame If you wanna fight me there then fight me We can walk ten paces then turn But if you want me dead you'll just have to shoot me through Cause I would rather die than see you in pain I would rather die than see you in pain I've tried hard, oh darlin' To keep the balance too But it's not me, it's you Who's kicking us back and forth like this Tripping up back and forth like this Slipping up back and forth like this Kicking us back and forth like this With the pills And the falls And the thrills Of seeing it all Through the night I'm back again The pills And the falls And the kills Of seeing it all Through the night I'm back again Through the night I'm back again Mornings like this I feel like leaving Though I'll have to pick apart my brain Like a flock of crows upon a scarecrow If he could raise his arms they'd fly away If he could raise his voice they'd fly away I've tried hard, oh darlin' To keep the balance too But it's not me, it's you Who's kicking us back and forth like this I've tried hard, oh darlin' To keep the balance too But it's not me, it's you Who's kicking us back and forth like this Tripping up back and forth like this Slipping up back and forth like this Kicking us back and forth like this With the pills And the falls And the thrills Of seeing it all Through the night I'm back again The pills And the falls And the kills Of seeing it all Through the night I'm back again Through the night I'm back again
