Lyrics
Why'd you go so suddenly
With no warning you ran away
Towards the darkness that called to you
The light is out now you're gone forever
You opened your soul with every word you sang
With melodies that helped us face the day
Do you even know how many souls you've saved?
If only someone could've done the same
Our hero's all have gone away
Who is left to help us find our way
Stuck inside that heart shaped box the spoonman sits on an angry chair
while the army ants break that rusty cage down in a hole
Like a stone, Pretty Penny waits for the rooster who'll never die
With heaven beside her and hell within, it's over now we pay our debts sometimes
You'll never be outshined
you'll never be outshined
