Dead Man's Suit

My heart ain't broken 'cause that implies It was ever in one piece before tonight Paradise is poison in my veins Winter runs its fingers through the vapors that remain Burn your books in the car, fix your eyes on a star And imagine you can handle the loss Of a beautiful girl wrapped in black icy curls Though your thoughts are like broken glass dragging you down None of these roads ever lead, ever gonna lead to your door God knows I've been here before and I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade Seems I was born in a dead man's suit I was born in a dead man's suit Drunken old Olympian in the blocks Lousy on the trigger and his eye ain't on the clock Feed me like a monkey and I'll swing Deep inside the canopy where fire and ice are king Burn your books in the car, fix your eyes on a star And imagine you can handle the loss Of a beautiful girl wrapped in black icy curls Though your thoughts are like broken glass dragging you down None of these roads ever lead, ever gonna lead to your door God knows I've been here before and I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade Seems I was born in a dead man's suit I was born in a dead man's suit Sister quick pull the cord, there's a horse on the ward With a mouthful of diamonds for teeth In a dusty old cape stands a man in its wake Singing I got a woman that loves like an ocean and None of these roads ever lead, ever gonna lead to your door God knows I've been here before and I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade Seems I was born in a dead man's suit I was born in a dead man's suit Under trees that bear no fruit
