what you got

Zelda

what you got

it's what i want

reading between your lines

polishing an old penny until it shines

outside on an empty dance floor

hearing the loud noise of a skeleton key

gliding by a lonely door

your smile leading me astray

every time you had your way

i was left embarrassed 

by the things that you said

watching you painting my body red

when i wanted to stay blue

instead

what will you do

as a madness grows inside your head?

Zelda

what you got

it's what i want

reading between your lines

polishing an old penny until it shines.

since i've been loving you

since i've been loving you

there's a hurt inside because i don't know what to do

when you turn your back to me

when you laugh in my face

am i such a disgrace?

i've been a working man

toiling with dirt on each hand

i did what i could 

i did what i thought i should

since i've been loving you

and now i'll miss you

disappearing into the fading blue

skies

taking with you my final cries

since i've been loving you.
