The Stakes
Let me introduce myself
I'm always one dollar short
Only when I enter hell
I believe in the Lord
Never asked for any help
Was never homeward bound
They say love runs in circles
But the start I never found
I stay away from the fire
Always put out the flame
The one that I desire
The one that caused me pain
Believing is what other people do
The evil secret of life
Unasked-for love
when the stakes are too high
Like a storm that keeps on coming
Obscures everything I see
And the righteous in the marching band
pretending not to bleed
Propose solutions if you wanna know
how revolutions grow
Watch in silence as the violence and hatred decompose
I stay away from the fire
Always put out the flame
The one that I desire
The one that caused me pain
Believing is what other people do
The evil secret of life
Unasked-for love
when the stakes are too high
Unasked-for love
Pretending not to see
Pretending not to hear
Pretending not to feel
Pretending not to be
The wrestling goes on and on
The wrestling goes on and on
And on and on
I'm always one dollar short
Only when I enter hell
I believe in the Lord
Never asked for any help
Was never homeward bound
They say love runs in circles
But the start I never found
I stay away from the fire
Always put out the flame
The one that I desire
The one that caused me pain
Believing is what other people do
The evil secret of life
Unasked-for love
when the stakes are too high
Like a storm that keeps on coming
Obscures everything I see
And the righteous in the marching band
pretending not to bleed
Propose solutions if you wanna know
how revolutions grow
Watch in silence as the violence and hatred decompose
I stay away from the fire
Always put out the flame
The one that I desire
The one that caused me pain
Believing is what other people do
The evil secret of life
Unasked-for love
when the stakes are too high
Unasked-for love
Pretending not to see
Pretending not to hear
Pretending not to feel
Pretending not to be
The wrestling goes on and on
The wrestling goes on and on
And on and on
