"Take me, I am the drug. Take me, I am hallucinogenic." Salvador Dali
lyrics
THE FLOOR
The wind blew down the old street
And froze me at my feet
Your fire was on the other side
Of my geography.
Would you ever scrape away the frost
To see how I might be
Or leave your night light burning
To search my destiny.
My rooms are small and white
I’ll leave my shoes outside the door
Every love I’ve ever had
Will dance across these empty floors.
My paintings hang to hide the cracks
In crumbling ancient walls
Isn’t it the artist’s hand
That leads sunlight through it all
Please deliver me a gypsy soul
So I can watch the rain
gather all my treasures
And wash them down the drain
My rooms are small and white
I’ll leave my shoes outside the door
Every love I’ve ever had
Will dance across these empty floors.
I‘ll wear the ribbons of my pain
As it was born to be
Oh, the many things I learned from you
When you walked away from me
My rooms are small and white
I’ll leave my shoes outside the door
Every love I’ve ever had
Will dance across these empty floors
