My ranshackled mind searched out old Jerome
I said my house is falling it use to be a home he
Said I told you once I'll tell it to you twice
She's got to quit or quench her thirst
For that poison paradise
She's got to choose never again or forever
She's got to let it break at the ends or say forever
But I feel so dark inside
That I'm clinging to the smallest light
And I can't hang on and I can't hang on
It was harvest at the Hazeltown farm
And in the fields we'd meet meet
I could feel the pods I know the peas inside were sweet
But soon I saw her deceptions for the little lies they were
And I was making all my plans depended upon her
She's got to choose never again or forever
She's got to let it break at the ends or say forever
But I feel so dark inside
That I'm clinging to the smallest light
And I can't hang on and I can't hang on
I don't know what draws the bee into the flower
But she's the blackest rose
I got a hard time just seeing thru the clouds
That hang on her wherever she goes
Poison paradise served up with the twist
I held it in a bottle
It's right there in the ingredents list
I can't talk anymore and I can't walk away
I swore my ulitimatum
And I fear that it's too late
She's got to choose never again or forever
She's got to let it break at the ends or say forever
But I feel so dark inside
That I'm clinging to the smallest light
And I can't hang on and I can't hang on
