I was starving and naked
My children were insane
And in my wife's eyes
Only the fuck remained
Betrayal is a thimble
We're fast and we're nimble
As i spoke through the sound
of broken cymbals
A smile a day
And you'll never get old
But you'll never get rich
Leaving the dead with their gold
I know why troubled hearts
In troubled times
Ignore the signs
That robbed you blind
But if I'd been following orders
Then i just fed my family
What kind of crime
Could that ever be
Why cant we
Why cant we
Let Bygones be bygones
I see that you're sinking
Oh yes only the dead float
I'll be weighed down
By my suit and overcoat
I've pocket full of silver
And a watch from times of old
You can have them now
As i am wishing to unload
I wish you could see
I wish you could see
That part of myself
That meant much more than money
That part of myself
Now drifting to sea
But you wouldn't forgive
Not for the life of me
Why cant we
Why cant we
Let bygones be bygones.
