Shake the minute donkey with all
The less you climb the higher the fall
In a place where they talk and talk
The wolves will eat but the birds will starve

Lower the load down the way and into my arms
We'll stay in town here until lies start to feel human again

Swim backwards into her
Color that tree, watch it burn
Caught on the tea with you and me
We washed the small bones off in the sea
We need something to make it warm
Got so sick sleeping on the floor

(Got so sick sleeping on the floor)
(Got so sick sleeping on the floor)
(Got so sick sleeping on the floor)

She's looking at you through broken ice
She made our hearts sore
With a dagger wide worn
With a dagger wide worn

Shake the minute don't dream at all
The less you climb the higher the fall
In a place where they talk and talk
The wolves will eat but the birds will starve

I want to be your tea - sipping into my hands all day
(Not so fast) (Just a moment) (Get some safety) (Somebody ought)
I'll trade my mind for your heart and soul
You can have my butter - no you won't
Take it with you when you go
Take it with you when you go

Shake the minute don't dream at all
The less you climb the higher the fall
In a place where they talk and talk
The wolves will eat but the birds will starve

(Shake the minute don't dream at all)
(The less you climb the higher the fall)
(In a place where they talk and talk)
(The wolves will eat but the birds will starve)

It's never over
It's never over
It's never over
It's never over
It's never over
It's never over
It's never over
