Wrecking Ball

My live has been nothing but spit.

Wrecking Ball

Down in the years and I can’t go back.
A weary traveler shouldering his pack.
The sun’s gone down 
and the water’s turned black.

The smoke of this fire is burning my eyes.
I turned coals and thought through my lies.
A long time passing
and those short goodbyes.

I’m on the hook for too many things.
Time to bring out the tissues and strings.
Devil phoned and I took the call.
My life’s been a wrecking ball. 

Skies around here full of stars.
It’s a good thing there aren’t any bars.
Better off alone out on the land,
with the cold night to hold my hand.

There is a genuine place in the heart.
You feel it most when yout years apart
My life has been nothing but spit.
Everything else has a price on it. 

I’m on the hook for too many things.
Time to bring out the tissues and strings
Devil phoned and I took the call
My life’s been a wrecking ball.
