RIFF 1 - 2x's
I am levitating
Somewhere down the road
With a price on my head
And the shadow of a black crow
He's been on my tail
For close to three days
Just a little souvenir
Of my wicked ways
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father forgive me what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
RIFF 4
From the shadow of a black crow
I've got a box of reds
And a bottle of the blues
Comes a time in your life
Honey you've gotta choose
My belly's on fire
From the acid of the truth
All the untold lies
Of my misspent youth
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father forgive me what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
From the shadow of a black crow
It's pretty when you're young
Just a pity when you're old, yeah
Am I running away
Em RIFF 4
Or am I closer to home
The lines and the signs
The miles go by
No one ever bothered
To even ask me why
partial)
So I am disappearing
Into this road
With a six pack of sorrow
And the shadow of a black crow
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father forgive me what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father forgive me what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
From the shadow of a black crow
