Story Behind the Song
This song was recorded live in a couple takes
on a Tascam(tm) 4 track. I'm fully aware that
I am a lousy singer and crappy guitarist.
Unfortunetly, it's all i have to work with.
There are many references in this song to
events in my life and a sort of personal
symbolism. It also has that clever clever
lyrical hook at the end of each part.
Lyrics
Harmony and destiny, a hanging tree for love
They got to you
Amethyst, our first kiss, a simple twist of fate
They got to you
Relics of a past forgotten
All the fruits of love gone rotten too
There's no need to complicate it
You hate to grow, you grow to hate it too
Butterflies, clear blue skies, little white lies for me
They got to you
Birds and bees, bad poetry, a part of me that's lost
They got to you
Autumn colors to death are fated
Like the fallen leaves i wait for you
There's no way to comprehend it
You changed your mind, you don't mind change now too
Symmetry and ecstacy, little blue pills for me
They got to you
Emerald eyes, questions why, seven times down again
They got to you
Faded letters of burning passion
Burning letters of faded passion too
There's no way to half explain it
You love to kill, you kill your lover too
Long good byes, whiskey lies, strangers in the night
They got to you
All is fair in love and war one for me more or less
Two for you
