Save Yourself (Live) Lyrics

Wake her up it's six o'clock

White dreams from yesterday's chalk

You cry and hope it would suffice

You cannot cope on bad advice

And you want to see her badly

And afraid to lose your queen

Since the devil watches over

Pretty girls when they're fifteen

Save yourself

Just one more, don't lock the door

Save yourself

I see the burning of the page

At the altar he still waits

You know the fame

Won't help him stage

The things he loves - the things he hates

How did I cut the cloth

Will she help break my troth?

You've amassed the things you fear the most

You're cast in shadows on the coast

When her skirts look less familiar

When you want to keep her close

Strings she pulled just won't stop singing

"Secret love in lethal dose"

You think you have just what it takes

Climb up the rope before it breaks

On every deadline you composed

For every law you once imposed

You tell her "Practice what you preach

All of the things you cannot reach.

I'll be teaching her tomorrow

And you'll be bleaching out my sorrows"
