lyrics

Fair Trade

I stumbled over fresh green grass…just to get to another glass.
I looked up at a star-filled sky…and counted all the ways to die.
I cut my hand on a window pane…just to get out of the rain.
I got my hair all wet…fell into a nice, warm bed…
I let my whole world freeze in place…just to look at your face.
I fell for you just like a diving bird…then I couldn’t write another word…

It was a fair trade, of it was a fair trade…
It was a fair trade I suppose.

I woke up on a stranger’s floor…couldn’t stay there anymore…
I ran and ran until I couldn’t stand…then I started up another band…
I played and Played until my strings gave out…caught in the shadow of a doubt…
I fell into a deep, dark well…just so I wouldn’t have to tell…
But lyin with my back against the ground…I can see for miles around…
Here under an electric sky…I’ll live and live until I die…

Oh, it’s a fair trade. Oh, well it’s a fair trade.
It’s a fair trade I suppose.
