Neil Young saved my brother it was 1992 When the household was mired and crumbled From Hank to Hendrix pulled him through now Isn't it funny just how a song can turn a weak kid back to strong now And just maybe Marlon Brando could be there to retire The confusing loss and loves that tear away at a lost boys fire now You were hurt for so long You were hurt for so long that you had to run away Sometimes the little things can be big things Show me your sloppiness Sometimes the messy messy moments of sadness Show me your realness Sometimes the background is the darkest thing Show me your heaviness Sometimes the deepness of your deepest of questions Show me your specialness Modesty you're killing me The best of what we want to be Modesty you're killing me The best of what we could have been Invent invent invent invent Invent a new valentine Dip my fingers in turpentine Invent invent invent invent Invent a new valentine Dip my fingers in turpentine You were hurt for so long You were hurt for so long that you had to run away Modesty you're killing me The best of what we want to be Modesty you're killing me The best of what we could have been Invent invent invent invent Invent a new valentine Dip my fingers in turpentine Invent invent invent invent Invent a new valentine Dip my fingers in turpentine
