Rags - The Waterboys

Everything is rags

And there’s nobody to blame but me

And it would be so easy

If there was no one to hurt but me

But now everything that I do

Coming out of me will just tear through you

In and out of you

Up and down your life like a curse

Cast by the only Son of Rags

Who would wrap you up in all the finest tatters

Though he wanted nothing more, my loved one

Than to wrap you up in joy

But it’d never be with me

You and I are like two worlds

Not meant to collide

Death to each other

In the unravelling of time

So how do you.

how do you…

How do you… how do you like it?

What kind of… what kind of…

What kind of dream would you call it

To have one foot in Eden

One foot in Hell

To be always numb

Plagued by demons

Summoned by angels

At the same time endlessly?

But I will

Burn me

Right out of this place

I will lay you down to sleep

So when you awake

I’ll be gone and

You

Will remember

Nothing
