Another Way To Survive

I watched you as you grew
Stood by your side as you changed
I never new you could smile in such a pretty way
Sweet darlin melting alone in the back
all she needs is lovin to keep her on track
momma always told her to keep it in her hand
daddy never listened cause he was the man

a little trick she was stealing your heart
small waves of sweetness straight from the start
down in the backwoods she was listening for him to call
straight from the heart
time seemed so small
cosmopolitan disease
straight from the east
she\'s my release
and I\'m her beast

she\'s traveling from heart to heart
ready for the next feeling before the first one starts
to her danger never comes in red
she thinks before she speaks
but dont speak before shes ahead

she\'s a runner, vixen and a stunner
small one is lovin
you couldnt be no funner
I\'m your release, and you\'re my tease
small one\'s got a disease for me

small one rest in peace
cosmetic tragic desease
small one get off your knees
poetic tragic please
follow your heart if you want to be free
learn to put more faith in me

she\'s traveling from heart to heart
ready for the next feeling before the first one starts
consumed and abused, misused and confused
texas born and california consumed
rest in peace
in peace
in peace
rest in peace
in peace
in peace...
