The Otherside - Ohbijou

Autumn days, the doors you face They're never gone, you never cry But if your bridge ever falls, if it does If it does, I'll catch you, babe, I will Autumn fires that blaze and burn The shadow days, the red, the brown They let you fall, they let you down Let you down, that's the way I am Before they go You know they won't stay long We could be reckless like birds in the night Wherever we go, set the world on fire We could be thе darkness breaking across the sky If I lose you on the borderline I'll see you on the other side Autumn days, the doors you face They're never gone, you never cry But if your bridge ever falls, if it does If it does, I'll catch you, babe, I will Autumn fires that blaze and burn The shadow days, the red, the brown They let you fall, they let you down Let you down, it's the way I am Before they go You know they won't stay long We could be reckless like birds in the night Wherever we go, set the world on fire We could be the darkness breaking across the sky If I lose you on the borderline I'll see you on the other side On the other side Oh, ooh-ooh Oh, ooh-ooh, ooh Oh, ooh-ooh (on the other side), oh, ooh-ooh, ooh Oh, ooh-ooh (the other side), ooh-ooh We could be reckless like birds in the night Wherever we go, set the world on fire We could be reckless like birds in the night Wherever we go, set the world on fire We could be the darkness breaking across the sky If I lose you on the borderline I'll see you on the other side On the other side Autumn days, the doors you face They're never gone, you never cry But if your bridge ever falls, if it does If it does, I'll catch you, babe, I will

We move slow, we move slow Feel this cold, feel this cold Turning heads with our swift retreat Out of the city Moves these frames, moves these legs Rearrange a subtle change Make it fit so you won't feel Won't feel bored of it Won't feel bored of it Coming after you Lover come grab your guns I know that you want some Maps in flames, I'll follow you While you lead the way Coming after you You, you, you, you, you, you

I've noticed the way that I tug this string too hard It's unwinding, you're rolling This dress is not enough to suit my mood. This chatter, this banter as the highway unfolds in two Directions our eyes speak of feeling too consumed By all of this. Please I am asking for This weight of hearts to lift Shift from this scene of grief into A love that is somehow worth it. I've come for you To soothe this mess of words It's been so long since I've slipped Into place along your widths and curves.

Snow is falling in lightning flash In the morning we wake to thunder blasts It's so mild the dogs march in, Deflating circles till the sun breaks in I lost my journal but I'm certain that A thief is after my most secret past To broadcast in twilight my buzzing mind Creates this nonsense turns my neglect into crime My mother tries to keep the pace With rush hour ladies who aren't afraid To shoot their arrows at the good name She built with cannons and subtle grace Listen now to these sounds All I have oh these sounds Mother shoot those cannons off, Destroy this wicked place The winter brings peculiar things To thaw and leave no trace

I thought it was understood I'm going out into the woods To see what is left of me And all these wolves Shoot hungry looks Like crowded streets of vampire teeth In the city The garden grows as if she knows When air gets thin To let no one in She knows that nothing grows And I foresee some changing With battered hearts recovering The woods have never been so full. And I go outside To see familiar lives Race through to finish lines then start again Come on! And I go outside To see familiar lives Race through to finish lines then start again Come on!

Verse 1: I took the bus down Bathurst St. and saw where, All the lonely people meet down there. I sat on a pile of cigarettes and blew, Icicles with one short breath t'wards you. Chorus: There's black ice No sign Verse 2: Oooooohhh oooooohhh And temper me temper this, ive tried, In fit in e'vry thing in a small time. The winter brings a heavyness this way, So hand over the things i shouldnt say. Chorus: There's black ice No sign There's black ice No sign

St. Francis fumbled in the dark Up the stairs and down the hall And in his midst the crows moved slow Whizzing by like thunderbolts And I cried go. With flint in teeth and fire and hand He fought a fleet of angry men Who boast of birds they stole from St. Francis tamed those witless thieves And I cried go. St. Francis learned th wolves lived in Towns with wives and with children His eyes grew blind from this awful truth The real wolves wore pants and shoes The crows know that your wavering The crows know that your waiting To escape. St. Francis says says says GO.
