Cross My Path - Emerald City Lyrics

Cigarettes outside the venue
Whiskey shots inside your bedroom
Golden tears I cry
Kiss my life goodbye
Bass guitars and blackjack tables
Broken hearts and cats in cradles
Zircon in the sky
So jaded I could die
Look me in the eyes just to see your own reflection
(You know exactly what you've done)
Point your finger and lie when we call out your intentions
(You know exactly what you've done)
Let's go!
It's been twenty days since I've seen the sun
Twenty minutes since I've seen the bottom of a bottle
Idle hands like to dance upon the trigger of a gun
Unpracticed preachers sanctimoniously sing the gospel
Misguided and ravenous I've reached the end
Peace and quiet and cannabis are how I pretend
Every second minute hour every day I spend
Aren't laid
To waste
This emerald city was built upon a trail of filth
Take me anywhere but here
Yellow brick road
It's been forty nights since I've felt your touch
Forty minutes since I've read the lines between your letters
Idle minds like to find a way to linger on a grudge
I'd let the bygones be if only I knew any better
Misguided and famished I can see the end
I could try to mend the damage but I can't pretend
Every second minute hour every day I spend
Aren't laid
To waste
This emerald city is a parasitic trail of filth
Take me anywhere but here
Yellow brick road
There's no place like home when you have no home to return to
Cement can shine like gems if you polish all your lies
A charlatan will bow before a curtain's drop when it's his turn to
Step into the ruby shoes and sever his disguise
There's no place like home when you have no home to return to
Cement can shine like gems if you polish all your lies
A charlatan will bow before a curtain's drop when it's his turn to
Step into the ruby shoes and sever his disguise
I could wish for a brain
I could wish for a heart
I'd wish to never see your face again if I were smart
I could wish for a brain
I could wish for a heart
I'd wish to never see your face again if I were..
