The Bond

Trading records in the graveyard
Crushing cans out on the trails
Maybe you can make it
If you save hard
Or your can piss it out on the rails
Piss it out on the rails
You were like a white shining star
In a cloudy, cloudy, cloudy sky
You did alright, despite some scars
And some wounds not yet cauterized
Not yet cauterized
Don’t let yourself be taken
By the earliest tide
Think about it, have some patience
Because we both know you’d make the surliest bride
Toughest leather can’t hold this together
It’s a bond that’s bound to break
Hope for the sound
Of your feet on the ground
Please don’t stay and make the same mistake
They will squander all your patience
As they look you straight, straight in the eye
They love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you at the station
Then betray you on the ride, once inside
Toughest leather can’t hold this together
It’s a bond that’s bound to break
Hope for the sound
Of your feet on the ground
Please don’t stay and make the same
Please don’t stay and make the same mistake
