ballade of joe

  • efalin productions [socan])

  • and they struck him down set to coast

  • as you go - walking - to find out

  • sneaking around part of the needing to

  • know how it turned out well he just

  • stood there copping scenes no stage or

  • so it seemed like he knew it all the time

  • just had to lay it on the line he said "I

  • took my heart out in spades - it never

  • worked anyway" and that's why he's

  • gone - he's gone kept it all on sight -

  • murdering the night one hand to let the

  • other go under your back turned to the

  • light - knowing it's not right a stand for

  • all the power of wonder he said "keep

  • that love away- it's stronger then the

  • hate oh don't you let it come any closer"

  • harder then a day oh joe - is a dream...

  • any they struck him down nailed to the

  • post as you go - walking - to find out

  • sneaking around part of the needing to

  • know how it turned out well he just

  • stood there copping scenes no stage or

  • so it seemed like he knew it all the time

  • just had to lay it on the line he said "I

  • took my heart out in spades - it never

  • worked anyway" and that's why he's

  • gone to stay he said "I took my heart out

  • in spades - it never worked anyway"

  • and that's why he's gone he's gone

  • kept it all in sight - murdering the night

  • one hand to let the other go under your

  • back turned to the light - knowing it's

  • not right a stand for all the power of

  • wonder he said "keep that love away-

  • it's stronger then the hate oh don't you

  • let it come any closer" he said "keep that

  • love away- it's stronger then the hate oh

  • don't you let it come any closer" he said

  • "keep that love away- it's stronger then

  • the hate oh don't you let it come any

  • closer" harder than a day oh joe - is a

  • dream...
