Can’t Save Myself Lyrics by Box Set

Twenty-Seven

1995

I found a dollar gleaming, bleeding in the road / Left a million traces of your hands / I read a fortune at the corner traffic light / Laid my dollar down with fate's old man-
It seems this city brings the marrow to the bone / and stirs away the shallow from the deep / Holding on diversity like oh so many words / Help me smoke my conscious eyes to sleep-
I’ve driven empty highways and my fortune feels the same / I'm scrambling for small change and hounded all the way / I say please... I can't save myself from me
I left the barroom holding solace to my hand / and left a trail of ciroles on the olimb / Only on this corner do I ever feel alive / Bleeding for applause these friends of mine-
I’l open up my artery, throw my passion down / From the poison of your company to stillness all around / 1 say please... I can't save myself from me
The corner light's not changing / From the old mans' point of view / Over shades and over sunsets / Over silhouettes of you / Between the beauty and the cancer / and a miracle or two Hides the light, fighting not to fly / I see the signal changing in your eyes-When this man can master walking in the rain / On corners where the traffic lights are blind / Holding to the artwork, as the chorus coddles by /
Tracing on the grace of you and I-

I've driven empty highways, when 1 had no one to blame / and I've opened up my artery in anybody's name / To the very soul of circumstance that put me here today / I say please... I can't save myself from me..
