If you happen upon a stranger a man with saleable eyes, there’s a watch in his pocket of silver that only tells you lies. And climbing up his poetry you can see for miles of roads and broken roses that seem to grow whenever he smiles. CHORUS He’ll lie, yes he’ll lie, and he’ll take…

Sweet Things
How do I know where to put my next? How do I know where it should go? After 26 years, I still think you just guess. I do what I do as I’m told. CHORUS Just looking for sweet things on the side of the road. We don’t want to miss nothing. That’s why we’re…
