She throws a stare across the water that only a fool could miss
I swim across to her incipient kiss
She tastes like a tangerine but she makes me want to cry as I cast my gaze into an empty sky
Pray to God when I awake I know how much abuse to take
Until that hour make sure I stay with you
And while I'm lying silent there
Too smart to even think you care what the others want us to do
If you want to save somebody save yourself
I found my way to the water-hole where you were bathing too
And instantly I realized you were someone that I knew
A goddess of fire and poetry who summoned forth a flame
And brought me to my knees when someone shouted out your name
And now I've got a reason to pray
And as the world gets unbearable
And old men trade her off
And someone tells us how much we can spend
We gave up fighting years ago but we still hurt just as much
We never lost our spirt in the end
Save an extra bullet for yourself
