IRON and WINE lyrics : "Beneath The Balcony"

Let's go out and dance, darling
Our last of days
And grace the game with a blindfold on

The cheaters came to play
And outside the soft-handed boys
Screaming cars and all their speed

Music, math, a hero beggin change
His sword across his knees


And how he prays to find a man to blame
For every sleepless night he spends
And for every well that he warned me of

But wound up falling in
And then for the kids beneath the balcony
Who disregard the rain

To make sure the king won't grant
The dead man one more day


Let's go out and see darling
What shines tonight
And temper your dream about the dying horse

With traffic, noise, and light
And somewhere the soft-handed boys,
Bleeding hearts, and worker bees

Give to the holy mother begging change
Christ across her knees


And oh how she prays to find a man to blame
For every loveless night she waits
And for every gun that she frowned upon

But still some $#&@er made
And then for the kid beneath the balcony
Behind the garbage can

Who waits for the king to come
And hold his sweating hand
