I could beg for mercy Try and change my name I'd be fooling myself Nobody gives a damn Well our hearts run dry And the story's never full But the creek runs high And you been crying wolf We been crawling Like a slow death Way too long Like an old dress You're draped in red And I'm a dying bull Well it looks to me Like you just seen a ghost But I've seen enough to know That there's no hope It's just you and me And the ashes on our hands From a burned up dream Of a promise of a promised land We been crawling Like a slow death Way too long Like an old dress You're draped in red And I'm a dying bull In the howling And the low breath Held too long In a sweet duet I'm crying out And you been crying wolf Whiskey and wine and the shoulder of time They been known to dull the pain The devil you know the devil you don't Ain't supposed to share a name We been crawling Like a slow death Way too long Like an old dress You're draped in red And I'm a dying bull In the howling And the low breath Held too long In a sweet duet I'm crying out And you been crying wolf I'm crying out And you been crying wolf I'm crying out And you been crying wolf
