I never gave up nothing
silk and silver locked away
who asked you anyway
pried that fist out to a palm
forced your hand in wine and song
kept you out
too late and too long
guess the ruin and condition
with one scoop below the belt
but really who's counting
the squatters gathering stones
hitch a ride and arrive there alone
bite the hand to it's generous bone
no I never gave 'em nothing
I'd fold from walking that fall
I'd choke and shrink
away from it all
I made nothing from something
your secrets bury with me
lock away those carnival days
when I stretched my wings and
walked the wire
led the dogs through
spark and fire
it looked like a blast
but it lingered a bore
no, I never gave 'em nothing
silk and silver locked away
no, I never gave them nothing
