[Verse 1]
You were brave as a chessboard queen
But the shoe didnât fit your feet
Cover the mouth of the Earthâs great cough
You canât always get what you want
[Verse 2]
So you lie in the driveway snow
'Til youâre white as a bed sheet ghost
Bathed in the light of a star long dead
No one can tell how it ends
[Chorus 1]
If youâre blind to love
Why don't you say it, love?
It doesnât amount to much
You're a grail without the blood
If youâre blind to me
Why do you say you see?
Shouldnât it always be
Clear to us?
[Verse 3]
Did you carve out a place in the world?
Were your white little bones of a bird
Crushed like a husk in the Great Deceiver's mouth?
I hope itâs all working out
[Chorus 2]
Cause if youâre blind to love
You shouldnât try to love
It doesnât amount to much
You're a holy with no ghost
And if youâre blind to me
Why do you try to see?
Shouldnât it always be
Obvious?
[Outro]
Proud like a hunter with a bow
Cowed like a prisoner below
I donât sleep so well
I woke up here on the crowded seats of a bus
I was a husk
