Sadness Soot

Grant Lee Phillips

9

I'm movin' with the strength of a spear

I'm cruisin' with the past in my mirror

Done leveling my city of ghosts

Cool ashes like it's all that she wrote

Shake off the sadness soot

It's doin' me good

Embrace the solitude

It's doin' me good

I'm darting through the traffic alone

Dim shadows carve the streets that I roam

Bewitching is the need to be held

I try to fight it but I'm under that spell

Knee deep in sadness soot

It's doin' me good

Embrace the solitude

That's welcoming us

Face the night and all it's fireworks

Wrap yourself up in the silence

Birthing dreams of love and hurt

Aborted by the cry of sirens

Face the night

Face the night alone

Face the night

Face the night alone

Na na na

I'm swimming with the weight of my heart

Upstream to where the green river parts

And two directions force my will to decide

Shall I drift before I swim for my life

Knee deep in sadness soot

We're gathering rust

Embrace the quiet flood

That's welcoming us

Shake loose the sadness

Shake loose the sadness

Shake loose the sadness

Shake and loose the sadness

Shake and loose shake and loose the sadness

Shake and loose shake and loose the sadness

Shake and loose shake and loose shake and loose

Ooh ooh ooh

Shake and loose shake and loose shake and loose

Shake loose the sadness

Ooh ooh ooh
