Shake the minute donkey with all   The less you climb the higher the fall   In a place where they talk and talk   The wolves will eat but the birds will starve      Lower the load down the way and into my arms   We'll stay in town here until lies start to feel human again      Swim backwards into her   Color that tree, watch it burn    Caught on the tea with you and me   We washed the small bones off in the sea   We need something to make it warm   Got so sick sleeping on the floor      (Got so sick sleeping on the floor)   (Got so sick sleeping on the floor)   (Got so sick sleeping on the floor)      She's looking at you through broken ice   She made our hearts sore   With a dagger wide worn   With a dagger wide worn      Shake the minute don't dream at all   The less you climb the higher the fall   In a place where they talk and talk   The wolves will eat but the birds will starve      I want to be your tea, sipping into my hands all day   (Not so fast) (Just a moment) (Get some safety) (Somebody ought)   I'll trade my mind for your heart and soul   You can have my butter, no you won't   Take it with you when you go   Take it with you when you go      Shake the minute don't dream at all   The less you climb the higher the fall   In a place where they talk and talk   The wolves will eat but the birds will starve      (Shake the minute don't dream at all)   (The less you climb the higher the fall)   (In a place where they talk and talk)   (The wolves will eat but the birds will starve)      It's never over   It's never over   It's never over   It's never over   It's never over   It's never over   It's never over
