For The Ashes - The Posies[00:00:00]
First one was born then denied[00:00:01]
Will anybody get her [00:00:05]
Second one is learning her all lines[00:00:07]
And the actions[00:00:10]
Third one has been trying all her life[00:00:13]
To get out of the ghetto[00:00:17]
Fourth one is leaving the fire[00:00:20]
For the ashes for the[00:00:23]
Which fire is the fire[00:00:26]
That calls you out into the light[00:00:28]
Indifference or spite[00:00:33]
First thing I'm gonna do to this town[00:00:38]
When I get a little credit[00:00:42]
Take my money and stick it in the ground[00:00:44]
Buy some glasses[00:00:47]
Education prepares me for the fight[00:00:50]
When they try to turn their words on me[00:00:54]
Cities turned into a refuge for the ashes[00:00:56]
For the ashes for the[00:00:59]
Which fire is the fire[00:01:02]
That turns you into a sharper eye[00:01:04]
Has anybody tried[00:01:10]
Someday I'm gonna wake up dead[00:01:15]
I know[00:01:19]
My breath released into the open sky[00:01:22]
Please tighten that bandage[00:01:27]
Round my head one last time[00:01:29]
Let go of my hand and close my eyes[00:01:34]
Time's coming there's light under the door[00:01:39]
Footsteps in the exterior hallway[00:01:43]
Coming with a stethoscope a syringe[00:01:46]
Witness I call you all my wealth[00:01:50]
You're my lands[00:01:55]
This little country of my own true blood[00:01:57]
In this kingdom with no king none at all[00:02:03]
Or just a daughter and a son in law[00:02:09]
Witness can you write me down these words[00:02:15]
My darlings take your time[00:02:19]
Cause all things will fall all things must fall[00:02:21]
Think I'm gonna just sit here for awhile[00:02:27]
Gotta try to see what happened[00:02:31]
But I'll still stand right up to your face[00:02:33]
And 40 lashes[00:02:37]
But I never would've worried and worked that hard[00:02:40]
If they ever would have told me so[00:02:43]
That I was just working all this time[00:02:46]
For ashes for the[00:02:49]
What fool is on the fire escape[00:02:52]
When the fire is going out [00:02:54]
Is anybody's doubt[00:02:59]
I know it seems like[00:03:05]
Nothing changes in your way[00:03:07]
Just take your time and[00:03:12]
Know that all things will fall[00:03:14]
