All Or Nothing

THE CLARKS · Feathers & Bones 2014 · Track 02 of 11

I woke up on the bus after sleeping outside I saw somebody's baby and I asked her for a ride She told me she was going where the angels fear to tread I laughed and said I've been there they left me for dead

We pulled up to the gate after the sun had gone down I knew it from the visions I'd seen floating around We walked along the garden he was waiting at the door He laughed and said I know you, you better hit the floor

It's all or nothing inside We're all just living on the dark side of lonely It's all just rumors and sighs It's the last, it's the first, it's the chapter and verse It's a beautiful curse

They were dancing in the foyer they were crying on the stairs Wailing in the swimming pool and passed out on the chairs The vapor from the fire it was filling up the space She said the devil has got a killing place

The stars are all out hanging in the trees Out in the backyard standing in the shadows Our friends are all gone you better leave with me Breaking out the back door smashing out the window Never gonna leave with me

We stayed a little longer she knew something wasn't right The water kept on rising right up to the morning light Her eyes were slowly shutting her lips were close to mine I like the poison I just won't drink the wine
