Bark No Bite

I can't let you go, can't let the dark

Be the only place you see me

I try to find you something new

That pulls me back to your arms

Little towns are the way we're living

Little white crosses on dangerous curves

Everyone is dying to get out

They got the skills but forgot the nerve

Turns me on when you turn me down

Everything inside me turned around

You've been tried, you've been true

And I know that pulls me through

I don't mind you don't know where you're going

I want to go with you

All the things you thought you handed down

Don't shine like I shine for you

I remember your phoenix shot its eyes

And scratched it into my shoulder

Like everything I wish would die

Repeats itself over and over

Have I tried? Am I true?

Did the things I said I'd never do?

All that faith and love can trust

If it's not real it turns to rust

Turns me on when you say you're mine

All the things I thought I'd never find

Your intention has its price

But it's never bought no body

Oh, my little parrot

I can't stand the way you tell it

Oh, my little parrot

I can't stand

Turns me on when you turn me down

Everything inside me turned around

I've been tried and I've been true

But it's you that pulls me through

Show me faith and love and trust

Or just crush me into dust

Not afraid to pay your price

'Cause you never bought no body

Bought no body

Bought no body

Bought no
