The Barr Brothers - Old Mythologies lyrics

Old Mythologies (guessing at a few words) It's probably now that I need you the most When I'm one half child and the other ghost And one of 'em wants to pull you close and the other to let you go Time's criminal love heart won And love defies everyone Inside my skin, a skeleton is warming up his act Though my body's my dog and my friend doesn't bite Though he looks severe and erudite A hundred degrees Fahrenheit he's as cool as an ermine If one of these is a poison cup and my acceptance seems abrupt But if you're gonna line 'em up, well I have to knock 'em down Well there's nothing so wrong that what's right can't fix Despite how blood and water mix and when a pony runs out of tricks and his work has just begun Now lord, duty bade me fight Just a lonely impulse of delight and balancing had brought to mind The years to come, the years behind Will I grow weary of the sun, remembering what I have done with old mythologies? You gotta choose You wanted the song to rescue us Amy, what did you leave for us? So we could get home Solomon sang Sheba's grace and he kissed her soft and sulking face If one of us has to leave this place, will the other come along? We been on the round and round Shared our kisses by the pound and chased our shadows on the ground Spilled our cups in China town Put up the moon, took down the sun Played our songs for everyone Remembering what we had done with old mythologies You gotta choose You wanted the song to rescue us Amy, what did you leave for us? So we could get home
