Truth for a Truth

I'm up here somewhere so high in the climb Too many people running loose in the mind Send us a king or someone else that can bring Some order where otherwise everything is Eye for an eye, truth for a truth Here I lie, my arms around you You would be blind if you only knew It was eye for an eye and truth for truth Pack up your wagon girl and button your coat Look up and see me coming out of the smoke Footprints of angels leaving tracks in the snow I'm the last man that sweetheart you oughta know When it's eye for an eye and truth for a truth Here I lie, my arms around you You would be blind if you only knew It was eye for an eye and truth for a truth It's good to be hungry The apple of somebody's eye Ain't nothing so pretty in this terrible light All hands on deck and all men to the tower I'm a virtueless man in the midnight hour Now it's junk on junk, this bed that we made Where I sleep like a horse standing up on the clay Got to be ready, there's so much hell to pay And I'm guilty of loving you in the worse kind of way Eye for an eye, truth for a truth Here I lie, my arms around you You would be blind if you only knew It was eye for an eye and truth for truth
