Lend me your ears for A whispery cinder And I lay on your lap how I left love limber A drip from a kiss that was Sucked from a lover With a swish and a spit now Condemned to the gutter
Well I shook and I shook 'Til it splintered the bone It was held in the notion All sand once was stone It split open now It's all pouring out It's there for the taking Just gather it up In your apron
So one day you find Yourself inside an oven Wicked and worn from The strangers I'd covet Your karma has come Cause your promise was rotten So settle your debts for the heart You've discarded
Well I burn through every penny I saved And I cold-cocked that sucker Right down in his grave It split open now It's all pouring out It's there for the taking Just gather it up In your apron
So lend me your ears for A whispery cinder And my breath will bring That spark to an ember And I'll fan and I'll fan 'Til it builds to a fire And leave you with nothing But the hell I've inspired
