|
The wild wide eye with her painted wing She crushed the gray boy Don’t you know My selfishness was my suicide Her painted wing became my suicide suicide The whole world did not start to cry They just got inside me and now they walk behind me They walk behind me They walk behind me Oh Lord Like little dogs Like scolded dogs you know Scolded dogs Scolded dogs They walk behind me Oh lord They walk behind me behind me Oh lord | |
