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
