Care—ful

Careful all who dwell this far behind a pirate’s closed door.

What hides in style slightly wild, nervous of what might be found on his cabin floor

Nervous to be being seen, singing green

Never said I had swagger, never claimed to be cream

leaning out records that have never been played

Alone together is not just a beautiful song to be played

It’s truth. so it sticks good. like honey on toast.

Careful all who dwell this far behind a lion’s mane 

If love is friendship set on fire

Then it dims and dies like the light of an eternal flame

For you must know something that we used to show distain 4

Would stand our ground and scream to show whoever whatever we were made for 

Now I leave gold dust on my maid’s floor

When things get hairy 

That’s what I use a drains for 

I unclog the path between my hands and my sight

I unleash a beast I’ve left chained up out here all night

To preach what al green would preach to Rocky before his big fight
