[00:00:31] I used to wake and run with the moon

[00:00:34] I lived like a rake and a young man

[00:00:40] I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds

[00:00:45] My laughter the devil would frighten

[00:00:50] The sun she would come and beat me back down

[00:00:56] But every cruel day had it's nightfall

[00:01:01] I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars

[00:01:07] Full of fire and forgetful

[00:01:15] My body was sharp the dark air clean

[00:01:20] And outrage my joyful companion

[00:01:26] Whisperin' women how sweet did they seem

[00:01:31] Kneelin' for me to command them

[00:01:37] And time was like water but I was the sea

[00:01:42] I'd have never noticed it passin'

[00:01:47] Except for the turnin' of night into day

[00:01:53] And the turnin' of day into cursin'

[00:02:01] You look at me now and don't think I don't know

[00:02:07] What all your eyes are a sayin'

[00:02:12] Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies

[00:02:18] They're just tricks that his brains been a playin'

[00:02:23] A lover of women he can't hardly stand

[00:02:28] He trembles he's bent and he's broken

[00:02:34] I've fallen it's true but I say unto you

[00:02:40] Hold your tongues until after I've spoken

[00:02:53] I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known

[00:02:59] I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven

[00:03:04] But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and

[00:03:08] Said my friend we're holdin' a wedding

[00:03:15] I buried my face but it spoke once again

[00:03:21] The night to the day we're a bindin'

[00:03:32] And now the dark air is like fire on my skin

[00:03:43] And even the moonlight is blinding
