Harmless

There's a crab apple tree
That's been flourishing freely
On the side of the train tracks down by me

There's a crab apple tree
That's been flourishing freely
On the side of the train tracks down by me
And it made me angry
With no fury

A sight for sore eyes to see
God, have you got any smiting left for me?
'Cause I'm feeling left out
Like a drunken thug who missed a clouting in a fight
Everybody's asking, "Where's the black eye?"
Oh, ay, ay, ay, ay

And I'm faithfully alone again
Left alone in this big old bed
Trashing about like a toothless shark in cotton waves

And I'm faithfully alone again
Left alone in this big old bed
Trashing about like a toothless shark in cotton waves
Like a wicked child left to fend in the wilderness

But I was taken in by the wolves
Taught me how to howl at the moon
It doesn't take me long to forget about you
When I'm well known for being aloof
Oh, if I was cursed, then I guess that we were cursed too

Someday I'll get to be disgustingly happy
And I'll stop searching for something

Someday I'll get to be disgustingly happy
And I'll stop searching for something to fight me

Oh, I'm harmless
I'm calm less
I'm harmless
