Scratching

There's a pine on fire
And your eyes get wide
Excited by the violence it inspires

There's a spark on the wire
Oh, Joanna
I'm stuck
Oh, Joanna
I'm tired

And you say
"Oh man, well you can't out-run it
And it can't be undone
Shadows jumpin' like puppets
And laughin' at you"

There were times I lied
But there were times where you were clapping
And laughing
There were honest times too

There were times you cried
So I said
"Extend your giving hand, Joanna
And I'll cry with you"

But I know
I know that I cannot change it
And it can't be undone
Shadows stretchin'
And scratchin' at your heels where you run
But I know
I know that I cannot change it
And it can't be undone
Shadows stretchin'
And scratchin' at your heels where you run
