lyrics

Ten long years in the wilderness
Playing do not disturb the lioness
I had to put my tranquility out of reach
I found myself washed up on the beach

Bottom of a glass long after hours
Joined the club for leftovers
And the line between performance and self-abuse
Mighty thin with extended use

And as the music grew, the rumor mill did too
People came from miles around to get a view
Fool me once is what I said
And shame on you

Under these conditions you can’t hold your ground
And I watched it all go crashing down
But suddenly I forgot what I’d learned
When human matches explode, everyone gets burned

So down to the basement to try once more
Rock & roll, more like a simmering war
Excess of communication
Insurgency and a love contagion

And as the music grew, the rumor mill did too
People came from miles around to get their iew
Fool me twice is what they said
And shame on you

I took the ashes to the Open Stage
Underground, thought I could turn the page
Ask the dealer for a brand new game
But it’s just reshuffled, the deck’s the same

And as the music flows, the rumor mill it grows
Oh, fool me again

On the day when they finally thrown me down
Onto the pavement of this town
I’m gonna shatter into a million bits
I’m gonna shatter into a million bits
I’m gonna shatter into a million bits
Of endless talk and love and unknown hits
