[Verse]
E B
Some say love is a burning thing
C#m A
That it makes a fiery ring
E B
Oh but I know love as a fading thing
C#m A
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
E B
See, honey, I saw love, you see, it came to me
C#m A
It put its face up to my face so I could see
E B
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
C#m A
Into something I am not recognizing
[Verse]
E B
See, the cage, it called, I said, "Come on in"
C#m A
I will not open myself up this way again
E B
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand
C#m A
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
E B
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
C#m A
To be acknowledge by some touch from his gnarled hands
E B
You see, the cage, it called, I said, "Come on in"
C#m A
I will not open myself up this way again
[Verse]
E B
You see, the moon is bright in that treetop night
C#m A
I see the shadows that we cast in the cold, clean light
E B
My feet are gold, my heart is white
C#m A
And we race out on the desert plains all night
E B
See, honey, I am not some broken thing
C#m A
I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee
E B
No my heart is gold, and my feet are light
C#m A
And I am racing out on the desert plains all night
[Verse]
E B
So some say love is a burning thing
C#m A
That it makes a fiery ring
E B
Oh but I know love as a caging thing
C#m A
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
E B
Oh and all you folks, you come to see
C#m A
You just stand there in the glass looking at me
E B
But my heart is wild, and my bones are steam
C#m A
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free
