Missing

Doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo Ohhh doo doo hmm Ohhh doo doo doo doo I prayed heaven today Would bring its hammer down on me And pound you out of my head I can't think with you in it I'd drag all that I owned Down the dirt road to find you And my shoes, worn-out and used They can't take me much farther Ohhh Something always takes the place of missing pieces You can take and put together even though You know there's something missing The sun burned a hole in my roof I can't seem to fix it And I hope rain doesn't come Wash me down the gutter Something always takes the place of missing pieces You can take and put together even though You know there's something missing She rides in a car Like a queen on a card And the guns of her mind Aim a line straight at mine To a heart that is broke Tried to feel but got choked In the smoke of a desert A beach with no treasure A night that seems blue Feed the aching in you And the background birds Take a flight from the earth A bonfire burns And the night current turns On a lifeboat floating Down a river of sleep Can't see her hollow eyes Walking along with my boots full of rocks Can't believe these tears of mine I give 'em to you to keep away in a box Something always takes the place of missing pieces You can take and put together even though You know there's something missing Something always missing Always someone missing something Something always missing Always someone missing something Something always missing Always someone missing something Something always missing
