Lyrics
TO PEEL AWAY YOUR BANDAGES
can't find a way
to break it to you gently
now, can they
ain't no sugar
helps this pill go down
can't run away
bandaids on a bruise are on display
we lend a hand
a life vest in quicksand
LOOK THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE IN THERE
LISTEN, MORE THAN MEETS THE EAR IN THERE
WHEN YOU HIT IT ON THE NOSE
BE CLEAR
I'M ALWAYS HERE
TO PEEL AWAY YOUR BANDAGES MY DEAR
back at the joint
they're hammering away the latest fix
pins and needles
stones and beatles
i can't relax
see you through a door of sliding glass
it's locked again
the gun is cocked again
CHORUS
I EVEN MADE THE CRUTCHES FOR YOU
WHEN IN YOUR CLUTCHES
DON'T LOOK DOWN
YOU WON'T SEE ME ON THE GROUND
I'LL RISE ABOVE THE SMOKE AGAIN FOR NOW
lies such beautiful lies took the sparkle from your eyes such brute force again
to ride the horse again
