Scratching

There′s a pine on fire and your eyes get wide
Excited by the violence it inspires
There’s a spark on the way
Oh, Joanne! I′m stuck, oh Joanne I’m tired

And you say, “Oh man, well you can’t out-run it”
And it can′t be undone
Shadows jumpin′ like puppets and laughin’ at you

There were times I lied
But there were times where you were clapping and laughing
You were honest times, too

There were times you cried
So I said extend your giving hand, Joanne, and I′ll cry with you
But I know, I know that I cannot change it
And it can’t be undone
Shadows stretchin′ and scratchin’ at your heels where you run

But I know, I know that I cannot change it
And it can′t be undone
Shadows stretchin’ and scratchin’ at your heels where you run
