lyrics

Conversation with a Hurricane

I never skipped out of school,
Or got round out of town.
I never really got drunk,
Or screwed around.
I never rode any rails.
I didn't walk the wire.
But like everybody else,
I put my hand in the fire.

Chorus:
Spirits of the ones who went before,
throw me down a key to my own front door:
My big plan was all in vain,
like striking up a conversation with a hurricane.

I pulled a little trouble,
and they put me in a cell.
I tied a stone to my prayer
and I threw it down the wishing well.
I try to do my best
as an Only Son,
cause you can wear out your shoes,
dancing for everyone.

Chorus

Well I bet you thought I'd have given it up by now.
But I'm too far gone to want to come back,
and I wouldn't if I even knew how.

I never went to the crossroads
to make my name,
but the Devil came and found me
just the same.

Chorus
