Masterpiece - (solo)

Lyrics

Years, days, makes no difference to me babe
 You look exactly the same to me
 Ain't no time crossing your legs inside your diner
 Raising the coffee to your lips, are stained
 You saw the masterpiece
 She looks a lot like you
 Wrapping your left arm around your right
 Ready to walk you through the night
 ♪
 You whisper to a restless ear
 "Can you get me out of here?
 This place smells like piss and beer
 Can you get me out?"
 You were asking me
 How to get you free
 I only know the recipe to roam
 You saw the masterpiece
 She looks a lot like you
 Wrapping your left arm around your right
 Ready to walk you through the night
 ♪
 Old stars, filling up my throat
 You gave 'em to me when I was born
 Now they're coming out
 Laying there on the hospital bed
 As an arrow, blue and red
 Took a draw of breath and said to me
 "You saw the masterpiece
 She looks a lot like me
 Wrapping my left arm around your right
 Ready to walk you through the night"
 ♪
 Old friends, old mothers
 Dogs, and brothers
 There's only so much letting go
 You can ask someone to do
 So I keep you by my side
 I will not give you to the tide
 I'll even walk you in my stride, Marie
 Cause I saw the masterpiece
 She looks a lot like you
 Wrapping your left arm around my right
 Ready to walk me through the night
 
 Years, days, makes no difference to me babe
 You look exactly the same to me
 Ain't no time crossing your legs inside your diner
 Raising the coffee to your lips, are stained
 You saw the masterpiece
 She looks a lot like you
 Wrapping your left arm around your right
 Ready to walk you through the night
 ♪
 You whisper to a restless ear
 "Can you get me out of here?
 This place smells like piss and beer
 Can you get me out?"
 You were asking me
 How to get you free
 I only know the recipe to roam
 You saw the masterpiece
 She looks a lot like you
 Wrapping your left arm around your right
 Ready to walk you through the night
 ♪
 Old stars, filling up my throat
 You gave 'em to me when I was born
 Now they're coming out
 Laying there on the hospital bed
 As an arrow, blue and red
 Took a draw of breath and said to me

 She looks a lot like you
 Wrapping your left arm around my right
 Ready to walk me through the night
