Ransom Blues Songtext
von Tre Burt

My own regard for the spirit
Is of no one′s concern
No when it comes to lighting fires
I don't pick and choose which coal gets first to burn

But someone like you
You′ll only smother it
You'll choke the life from every flame

No matter how dark your sky
In or outside your eyes
Your lips will never find my name

What have you got to live for
If you don't have the time


I′ve been around some
Benn up and down some
I′ve played for ransom for my mind
Mistaken my heart for a trap
To get the monkey off my back
When he was just a friend of mine.

But someone like you, You'll never see it
You′ll carry on, fakin the blues
I've heard enough of your cries
To leave you high and dry
I bid farewell, so long, adieu

What have you got to live for
If you don′t have the time?

I said Hallelujah, said what's it to ya
I′ve cursed it all
And it's cursed me back
I've made a fool of myself in despite of my health
I′ve tied the rope with no slack

But someone like you, you make me worry
You act like you′re the only one that's gone wrong.
No you won′t give up till someone you break,

I know your kind too well to go along.
