The Ballroom Thieves - Coward's Son Lyrics
Raised my rifle, swung for stars
Stole some falcon's wings

But my oh my, it's beating still
Age-old tales I whisper slowly
Once were colored juvenile
Youth, lay down your axe and ho...

The Ballroom Thieves - Meridian Lyrics
I stood on the colder side of October

Sad Lovers And Giants - Like Thieves Lyrics
Why must I always
Follow the fatal call
You carry me down
Then you lock my doors

A fading star in the dawn

The Ballroom Thieves - Saint Monica Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She stood like a wolf in the doorway
The others laid bare on the ground

Todd Agnew - Preachers And Thieves Lyrics

The Ballroom Thieves - Archers Lyrics

In Flames - Monsters In The Ballroom Lyrics
Without the sense of space or time

Away from the monsters in the ballroom
And the swinging...

The Ballroom Thieves - Begin Again Lyrics
I want to be a poet too
Fit as many flowers in my mouth as they do
The readiness is all I need
And I can pack up pretty easy
The ceiling breathes a sigh of smoke
It stares at me and waits 'til I choke
But I don't

The Ballroom Thieves - Homme Run Lyrics
I told you twice

The Ballroom Thieves - Pocket Of Gold Lyrics

The night was clear, and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumblin' down. ..

Who were gamblin' in the dark.

Giraffe Tongue Orchestra - Thieves And Whores Lyrics

I was sitting by the window
Speeding like a bullet
Through urban jungle ruin

Counterparts - Thieves Lyrics

I am the youngblood
I am my mother's son

Into a town of whores and thieves
I married a drug who con...
Kevin Devine - Private First Class Lyrics

One of these days you will wish ...
The Ballroom Thieves - For Hitchens Lyrics

Kenny Rogers - Coward Of The County Lyrics
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
His mama named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow,
But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.

The Ballroom Thieves - Anybody Else Lyrics
Oh, we get lost

Burning the evening's last fuel on my own

Brown Bird - Coward Lyrics
Will my names grown dim?

You found me again
I struggled some to stay away
But I fit so nicely in your hand
Fight through the lie

The Ballroom Thieves - In The Dark Lyrics

Birds In Row - Police & Thieves Lyrics

About growing up as being a self-resignation
You can climb the hill or just die ...
The Ballroom Thieves - Roll The Bones Lyrics

Youth Lagoon - No One Can Tell Lyrics
Ballroom
Manics pacing clad in costume
Flying critters, brutes and flowers...
In their finale bloom
The bridegroom standing smitten 'side the ballroom, but lying fetal in the earth's womb
We're all babies born too ...
