Iron out the Maiden

Said I’m back, back\nYeah you write, right\nGo to sleep in the morning\nWake at night, night\nI said I’m back, back\nYeah you write, right\nGo to sleep in the morning\nWake at night\nI ain’t got no time to waste I’ve been wasted\nPraying for some light to break but the days end\nTwilight I’m wide awake getting faded\nOne butterfly pull the iron out the maiden\nMy life story just the irony of blending in\nThe black cowboy who’s really just an indian\nOutcast citizen, out for cash and dividends\nBread cheese and bank I’m just really tryin' to save my skin\nAnd take care of kin plus my dearest friends\nWho gave me bread or a bed when I had no ends\nOr stole the shovel when I went to dig my grave again\nAnd asked me where my album’s at and when I’ll play again\nI ain’t got no time to waste I’ve been wasted\nPraying for some light to break but the day is in\nTwilight I’m wide awake getting faded\nOne butterfly pull the iron out the maiden\nI’ve been broken hearted (ugh), I’ve broken hearts\nCan’t tell the treasure from the trash when it gets too dark\nI’ve been torn apart, but I’ve been mended back\nWith a needle and a thread and an nicotine patch\nGetting clean hoping nothing pushes me to relapse\nLike watching dreams pass or chasing greener grass\nYou’re better off crying right into that empty glass\nSo sick of being depressed, this shit will make me laugh\nI ain’t got no time to waste I’ve been wasted\nPraying for some light to break but the day is in\nTwilight I’m wide awake getting faded\nOne butterfly pull the iron out the maiden\nI’m back, back\nYeah you write, right\nGo to sleep in the morning\nWake at night, night\nSaid I’m back, back\nYeah you write, right\nGo to sleep in the morning\nWake at night, night\nStay up all night and I songwrite\nAbout my whole life and where it’s gone right\nWhere it’s gone wrong and where I’ll fix it all\nAnd then I wake up in the morning with a crystal ball\nGoing.\nI ain’t got no time to waste I’ve been wasted\nPraying for some light to break but the day is in\nTwilight I’m wide awake getting faded\nOne butterfly pull the iron out the maiden
