Soul to Soul (Broken Child)

Watch out broken child,
You still think the night will keep its promises
you still think yourself so far above this analysis
that bolts from soul to soul
water rising moon somewhat less than full
you still think he'll stick around to cut the cards
and deal the message to you heart
rewind reset and restart

You still think the day deserves a better face
you still think you're the angel decked out in lace
pulling leather up from the deep
sympathy's security while you fall asleep
you still think he'll stick around to repair you
and heal the wounds blooming to blue
they're dooming you now

You still think
and that's the problem
as far as I can see
you still sink
in the cushions of love's misery
blindness is the heart that adores
always crumbling through endless doors
squeeze it out
let it seep back in
snake charms, vacancy arms
and some dangerous ideas
and I don't want to see
and I don't want to see you
right now

You still think the moon is not in your eye
you still think you can live within a lie
secreted away inside a grin
balance your life on the head of a pin
you still think he'll always take the blame for you
and steal your love in the night
your plans always go right

You still think
and that's the mistake
as far as the bird flies
you still blink
when staring down the prize
blindness is that heart that pretends
that we'll always remain such good friends
squeeze it out
let it seep back in
magic spells, bottomless wells
and some dangerous ideas
and I don't want to need
yes I don't want to need you
so much
right now

You took the poison
and went swimming on a whim
a dream to chart my position
a dream to try forgetting him
squeeze it out
let me creep right in
voodoo chile, your vacancy smile
some dangerous ideas
and I just want to see
and I just want to see you
come alive
right now
come alive
right now
oh watch out, broken child...
