[Verse 1] You were brave as a chessboard queen But the shoe didn’t fit your feet Cover the mouth of the Earth’s great cough You can’t always get what you want
[Verse 2] So you lie in the driveway snow 'Til you’re white as a bed sheet ghost Bathed in the light of a star long dead No one can tell how it ends
[Chorus 1] If you’re blind to love Why don't you say it, love? It doesn’t amount to much You're a grail without the blood If you’re blind to me Why do you say you see? Shouldn’t it always be Clear to us?
[Verse 3] Did you carve out a place in the world? Were your white little bones of a bird Crushed like a husk in the Great Deceiver's mouth? I hope it’s all working out
[Chorus 2] Cause if you’re blind to love You shouldn’t try to love It doesn’t amount to much You're a holy with no ghost And if you’re blind to me Why do you try to see? Shouldn’t it always be Obvious?
[Outro] Proud like a hunter with a bow Cowed like a prisoner below I don’t sleep so well I woke up here on the crowded seats of a bus I was a husk
