Nothing to lose

Now is the time
But it’s bound to leave
An eye for an eye
Is all I ever see
Last time I saw you
You were lost in the heap
A needle in the arm
And a cross on your ring

It’s another pink moon
Got those old cocaine blues
Don't want to hear the news
I have nothing to lose

I guess I aim low
Stick to the ground
And the roots
You’re in a world of hurt
And you're looking for proof
I say when will it end
And you tell me high noon
I don’t fear the change
That is comin soon

Oh those misty mountain moods
Got a record on the juke
And I’m wearing a dead man’s suit
I have nothing to lose

Lost like a bird
In the city street
Oh sweet surrender
And the drug of defeat
Some call it alchemy
Some say you’re a freak
They’ll never know
The eleusinian mysteries

In the evenings purple hue
I open my heart to my muse
Even if I’m captured
No matter what I do
I have nothing to lose

You can give
Your weight to me
I’ll fly it high
And set it free
This is not the land
Of make believe
Truth and consequence
The only majesties
And even if we do retire
We’ll live on
Through our tragedies

Lilith
Oh Lilith
Let me fly on your wings
I’ll be released any day now
From these earthly strings
Nobody keeps going
They all turn away
Never give up
I was told by the stage

Don’t you know
Gold is for the fools
My intentions they are not cruel
I stopped following the rules
I have nothing to lose
