YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TRUST ME ON THIS ONE
words/music: bill mallonee

there is nothing but confusion trying to state her case
and i do not have the blade
to cut to the chase
and the edits left a lot of holes and my how they seemed forced
and plot's disintegrating as a i veer of course
chorus:
you might have to trust me on this one
but who am i to say
nothing ever falls out the way it's s'ppose to
from the desert of despair to garden in full bloom
underneath, underneath
inside of you

well, you know i would not blame you. oh, far be that from me
i could never point a finger
since i have never gotten free
there's no resistance i can register
to counter such a front
for these weeds in inside the furnace
of my blue sky summer heart

my dreams have all but vanished and i barely knew their names
could be they simply could not get their breath
but i'll miss them just the same
confusion strokes my hair and leans in for a kiss
and my fingers? they have found the blade
to dispatch her with
