Alan Tarney - Scoundrel Days Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was that somebody screaming?
It wasn't me, for sure
I lift my head up from uneasy pillows
Put my feet on the floor
I cut my wrist on a bad thought
And head for the door

[Verse 2]
Outside on the pavement
The dark makes no noise
I can feel the sweat on my lips
Leaking into my mouth
I'm headed out for the steep hills
They're leaving me no choice

[Chorus]
And see, as our lives are in the making
We believe, through the lies and the hating
That love goes free

[Verse 3]
For want of an option
I run the wind 'round
I dream pictures of houses burning
Never knowing nothing else to do
With death comes the morning
Unannounced and new
[Verse 4]
Was it too much to ask for
To pull a little weight?
They forgive everything but greatness
These are scoundrel days
And I'm close to calling out their names
As pride hits my face

[Chorus]
And see, as our lives are in the making
We believe, through the lies and the hating
That love goes free
Through scoundrel days

[Verse 5]
I reach the edge of town
I've got blood in my hair
Their hands touch my body
From everywhere
But I know that I've made it
As I run into the air

[Chorus]
And see, as our lives are in the making
We believe, through the lies and the hating
That love goes free
Through scoundrel days
