Jim Caroll - Still Life Lyrics
By jim carroll and lenny kayeI dont believe in sinBut maybe Ill beginA vagrant evils climbing up my skinThe shadows from last weekAre dancing in the streetIn homage to the darkness closing inIts hard to say whats different each new morningI need some clue to tell me when or whereBut it seems I must believeNight wears it on its sleeveA warning that the times come to prepare . . .I owe so much to someoneIve watched her teardrops fallLike wings that melted reaching for the sunI need her to be nearTo clarify the dangersI didnt come this far to die with strangersI cant explain exactly what Im sayingBut youre the only reason I still careBut things become so clearWhen the spider licks her tearsA warning that the times come to prepare . . .I beg you not to leave meWith these warnings in the air . . .I never thought Id say itBut for once Im truly scaredWe create every lieIn order to surviveTo mirror all the terror in our soulsWith nothing left to stealLies make our lives seem realIt slows down all the madness like a shieldI dont know why I need to understand itI dont know if theres anyone who caresI dont know how or whyIt could be something in the skyThat makes it seem its best to be prepared . . .I dont know where it will beTwo by land . . . one by seaSleep with one eye openBe preparedThe spectres ride the stallions of my ruinThe shifting of my blood tell me its soon . . .I dont know howOr why . . . it could beSomething in the skyThat makes it seem the time says to bewareLittle boy,Looking at the sky,Tell me what you see?Little boyLooking at the sky,Tell me what you see? ? ?
