lyrics

You sister’s dress on, you showed up late looking pale in the heat.
And you smoked a joint so you could smile at the bride when you’d meet.

We drank too much and too early on – you couldn’t dance in those shoes.
So you slipped them off when they played your song like a dervish in disguise

And you fucked up. You let your pride set you up.
And you rose high – you never feel the way down.

You took my hand and you walked my down to the river’s darkness and its
swells.
You got your mind set, and those eyes. But it’s the prize that drives you apart.

And you fucked up. You let your mind get you up.
And you rose high – you never feel the way down.

You’re the portrait
In the eyes of all those painters
Who end up walking beneath you
But you … oh darling you …
You’ll always have yourself

And you fucked up. You let your pride set you up.
And you rose high – you never feel the way down.
