Dave Hause - The Shine Lyrics
It was exponential Memphis from a thousand feetBut when we landed we were black and blueRunning through the city with apocalypse eyesJust miles of streets with nothing to doYour warm heart had been frozen by some cold ideasYou tried to tell me but it came out wrongI changed my strings, shaved my face andLocked myself into the tower of songIt gets lonely in the tower of songBut I don't stutter when I singMy melodies grow little wingsHuddled here grinding tears into red wineMeet the darkness with the shineWe've got all our sons and daughters virgin blood on our handsThey'll be the offspring of these ugly warsBut if we kill off all our devils, will our angels die?I found love living life like a whoreSo here's some trusty chords and a melodyA pound of flesh for the brutal throngFor the heretics and walking dead and red headed girlsFrom the fool up in the tower of songI'm a fool in a tower of songMake the lonely fool smile, sing alongCause we don't stutter when we singOur melodies grow little wingsHuddled here grinding tears into red wineMeet the darkness with the shineIf you've got the shine, shine on
