The Cursed Lyrics by Deep Chatham

Words from the Well

2011

[Intro]
One, two, three
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
Come to the show
Get up and walk out on town
And show, let 'em know
Got intentions of shakin' you down
Runnin' your circle, stealin' your crown

[Verse 2]
I had a motive, they say
I didn't murder, I didn't
I didn't pray
I didn't ever discover the harmony
Riddled with lust for your riddlin' lies
I didn't know, I didn't cry

[Verse 3]
And who do you know?
Show me your leader and I'll
Show you their treason
Where does it grow?
How did it get here?
Why did we ever forget we're the keepers?
Me and your thieves were stealin' your crown

[Verse 4]
Those who would shun invitation
Goes without sayin'
The door's over there and I'll take you anywhere
And leavin' me pleased if I'm crazy
It's matched by my luck or it's matched by my curse
And it's you, a curse is a curse
A riddle won't do

[Verse 5]
I made a map out of amends
Thought I took it down the rabbit hole
But you wouldn't know
And while I was down, I made some friends
Though I'll never see that town again
She visits me while I dream

[Chorus]
And oh, it goes to show
You give 'em no money, give 'em nowhere to go
And oh, when the cradle's tumblin' down
You get a little more
You get a little farther away

[Verse 6]
I let the marksman hang me up
Though the noose was yours
Your cups is on the floor
I'm already empty
Yes, laid to rest, just put me down
It's as I'm fallin' that I realize there's no noose for me to die

[Chorus]
And oh, it goes to show
You give 'em no money, give 'em nowhere to go
And oh, when the cradle's tumblin' down
You get a little more
You get a little farther away

[Verse 1]
Come to the show
Get up and walk out on town
And show, let 'em know
Got intentions of shaking you down
Runnin' your circle, stealin' your crown

[Verse 4]
And those who would shun invitation
Goes without sayin'
The door's over there and I'll take you anywhere
And leavin' me pleased if I'm crazy
It's matched by my luck or it's matched by my curse
And it's you, a curse is a curse
A riddle won't do
