Crossed Wires - The Acorn

All you wanted was a way

To keep your head above the waves

And keep those bay street wolves at bay

Oh, but you will never get to be

One of the unhunted

And all they want is your good name

But you can’t hide republic shame

And you can’t graveyard shift the blame

Oh, and it is coming like a dark bora

Tearing up at the adriatic

I wonder what it’s called

When nothings what you get

But you gave everything

So when there’s nowhere left to hide

And time it isn’t on your side

There is one thing you haven’t tried…

Oh, and it is coming on the slipstream

It is coming on the changing tide

If you learn anything

You have to learn to walk the fire

You need to know to play both sides

You’ve got to try to cross the wires

Spark’s gonna rain on us
