Down in the flames, Down in the furnace, We play this game and We just hope it doesn't burn us. I call your name- An incantation. I call your name And I pray for transubstantiation.

"I could be wrong but I have seen your face before You were the man that I saw running from his door You owed him money but you gave him something more With a gun With a gun You will be what you are just the same Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand And leave him lying in the rain?"

I'm just a little girl from Little Rock A horse used to be my closest pal Though I never did learn to read or write, I learned about love in the pale moonlight And now I'm an educated gal

"It was somewhere in a fairy tale, I used to take her home in my car. We learned about love in the back of the Dodge, The lesson hadn't gone too far. You see, she was gonna be an actress, And I was gonna learn to fly. She took off to find the footlights, And I took off to find the sky."

There's a toad in the witch grass There's a crow in the corn Wild flowers on a cross by the road And somewhere a baby is crying For her mom As the hills turn from green back To gold

All things move toward their end I knew before I met her that I would lose her I swear I made every effort to be good to her I made every effort not to abuse her Crazy bracelets on her wrists and her ankles And the bells from the chapel go jingle-jangle

"Woke up, fell out of bed, Dragged my comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, And looking up I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke, Somebody spoke and I went into a dream."

And I I wonder if you'd understand If I said I'll never go Never go along again And if I told you all that I believe in And gave you my reasons and always had an answer An honest answer for all of them Sometimes you just want to belong At any loss or any cost Yeah I've I've made mistakes before But I just can't seem to remember them anymore And I've followed everyone's lead before And I've made my own decisions And I've never felt so strong before I've never felt so strong before
Sometimes you just want to belong At any loss or any cost Sometimes your best defense is a good reminder of your common sense Strike a match and hope it lasts Here's to following your own lead It's the path that I have taken After all the contemplation It's the promise I have made I hope it lasts
