about

Tom Waits + Grunge Rock + World Music = this song.

lyrics

I got pockets full of rain
I got a head full of ghosts
I got this ball & chain,
I'm gonna drag coast to coast

I got the moon in my skin
Can you find it in my eyes?
I've been so many people now,
I'm laying down this disguise

And I'm standing tall
Against it all
Try to break me

Darkness rides on the wings
A fixture in my time
It held my head while I was bleeding out
Across imaginary lines

And I wore you like armor
When the wolves were set loose
The faithless cling to the altar
Desperate for a truth

But we're standing tall
Against it all
Try to break me

There's a girl lost to wonder
She keeps a lion beside her bed
And she's been fucking up those nice boys
Laying secrets in their heads

Now she calls me by my name
Like a junky to a fix
It's been awhile she cries
Slides a knife across my wrist

So the curtain calls
For my final fall
Yeah the curtain calls
It's my final fall
Try to break me

Try to break me.
