Skeleton Key

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Half asleep with the sun coming up out east We're driving down Garfield Ave When you said a strange and significant thing I can remember the words "This was a beautiful night, it won't It won't ever happen this way again" [Verse 2] No, my dear, nothing much grows around here We carry our roots with us A couple of weeds pulled up, misguided Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book The plot is the course we took The setting can't be nowhere else in the world [Chorus] And the story opens up with you Your broken dreams and cheap perfume You're on a city bus, the rain, it falls Your makeup bleeds, the wind, it howls And I stumble on from uptown bars I guess that's all I've got so far Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how You save me and then you save yourself [Verse 3] And it ends so soon, the night and the fading moon I put my hand inside yours The city looks strange and significant Know these streets, the place where I'll live and die Resigned to that fact, but I I'm hoping it happens this way again [Verse 2] No, my dear, nothing much grows around here We carry our roots with us A couple of weeds pulled up, misguided Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book The plot is the course we took The setting can't be nowhere else in the world [Chorus] And the story opens up with you Your broken dreams and cheap perfume You're on a city bus, the rain, it falls Your makeup bleeds, the wind, it howls And I stumble on from uptown bars I guess that's all I've got so far Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how You save me and then you save yourself [Chorus] And the story opens up with you Your broken dreams and cheap perfume You're on a city bus, the rain, it falls Your makeup bleeds, the wind, it howls And I stumble on from uptown bars I guess that's all I've got so far Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how You save me and then you save yourself [Outro] Fall asleep to the radio Try to keep what I got from you Hard to do in these dreary days
