Shine It All On

Song byEels

Tarot cards

Said i'm already dead

Crystal ball

Fell down onto my head

Tenderness

If i want it i pay

My true love

Well she threw it away

But i can shine it all on

I can shine it all on

I can shine it all on

And still be amazed

Had some money

And a hole in my pocket

Had a house

But i forgot to lock it

Took a drag

From a smoke that may kill me

What a drag

How the winter wind chills me

I can shine it all on

I can shine it all on

I can shine it all on

And still be amazed

I'll shine it on just like macbeth

In the face of certain death

Of a salesman or a king

And when the palm trees are on fire

I'll take my boat out on the sea

Had a face

But i never could save it

Had a kid

But i never would name it

Have a life

Well that's what they call it

It's a road

But I guess i could crawl it
