The story of the braided fist is
How you got the liar's kiss
And I don't much care
Where that mouth has been

There's a shadow on heart that grows
In the shadow of this sidewalk rose

I thought I saw you smiling
Was it just another sighting?
Just another haunting
In a minefield of blue
I cry uncle to the angel of
I feel I've had enough
There is nothing you
Or anyone can do

You can trace her face
In the pale of the concrete
Silver where she fell in crimson
You're not gonna fix this for me
Are you now?

There's a shadow on some heart that grows
In the shadow of this sidewalk rose

I thought I saw you smiling
Was it just another sighting?
Just another haunting
In a minefield of blue
I cry uncle to the angel of
I feel I've had enough
There is nothing you
Or anyone can do

So pain
Is free
What's another loss
In three
When they're on their knees
For you
Give up the rain
Give up the moon

Cause you're not gonna fix this for me
Are you now?
You're not gonna fix this for me
Are you now?

I thought I saw you smiling
Was it just another sighting?
Just another haunting
In a minefield of blue
I cry Uncle to the angel of
I feel I've had enough
There is nothing you
Or anyone can do

You're not gonna fix this for me
Are you now?
You're not gonna fix this for me
Are you now?
You're not gonna fix this for me
Are you now?
You're gonna fix this for me
Are you now?
