Milk Thistle

Milk thistle, milk thistle
 Let me down slow
 Help me go slow
 I've been carryin' on
 I'm not scared of nothin'
 I'll go pound for pound
 I keep death on my mind
 Like a heavy crown
 If I go to heaven
 I'll be bored as hell
 Like a little baby
 At the bottom of a well
 Fair child, fair child
 How are you man?
 Did you fix that storefront?
 Did you start that band?
 Don't be scared of nothin'
 You go pound for pound
 You bring peace to midnight
 Like a spotted owl
 I'll be rootin' for you
 Like my favorite team
 If somebody sweats you
 You just point 'em out to me
 All the sights and sounds
 This little world's too crowded now
 And there's only one way out
 An elevator ride
 Through the tunnel towards the light
 And I'm no where bound
 Keep going up and down, up and down
 Newspaper, newspaper
 Can't take no more
 You're here every morning
 Waitin' at my door
 I'm just tryin' to kiss you
 And you stab my eyes
 Make me blue forever
 Like an Allen sky
 And I'm not pretending
 That it's all okay
 Just let me have my coffee
 Before you take away the day
 Lazarus, Lazarus
 Why all the tears?
 Did your faithful chauffeur
 Just disappear?
 What a lonesome feeling
 To be just waitin' 'round
 Like some washed up actress
 In a Tinseltown
 But for the record
 I'd come pick you up
 We'll head for the ocean
 Just say when you've had enough
 All the light and sound
 This little world's too fragile now
 And there's only one way out
 But if you let me slide
 I'll do my best to make things right
 And I'm no where bound
 Jus' going up and down, up and down
 Milk thistle, milk thistle
 Let me down slow
 Just help me go slow
 I've been hurrying on
 I was poised for greatness
 I was down and out
 I keep death at my heels
 Like a basset hound
 If I go to heaven
 I'll be bored as hell
 Like a crying baby
 At the bottom of a well
