Heartache Remnants

She was born in the land where the souls are brand new
where you try till you die just to make it through
they raised her to think and to be for herself
but the moment she did they placed her on the shelfAm

Don't let the man get you down
don't let him steal your thorny red crown
They will confuse you with cigarettes and smoke
but they never understood the flames when they spoke

Petals are pretty we know that it's true
but the thorns are the prettiest part about you

You met him while you were both slaving away
you fell deep in love and you are to this day
now he is gone away far from his home
he'll return my dear Rose you are never alone
They love her wherever she walks, she don't know
because while they love they knock her to and fro
she got stronger the day they most sent her away
now she stands tall and strong and they made her that way

Now you stand tall and strong
you don't need me no more
Rose, you're out of the gutter
You bloom towards the shore
You're better than all of those
morons you know
DON'T LOOK BACK MY DEAR ROSE
YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE
Rose...

Petals are pretty we know that its true
but the thorns are the prettiest part about you

Dear Rose

Your Shadow

Voodoo man feeling my voodoo child ways
no words are spoken, no contact for days
waiting in silence, the parting of the ways
pushing and pulling the war is a-rage

There's a guilty allure to a voodoo child's charm
it won't make you better but it won't do you any harm
Don't try to fight it, it's secrets don't tell
cross voodoo child and you'll wind up in
Help! Poor old voodoo man, trapped by his own hook
no one to turn to who knows where to look
How do you tame one, a voodoo child's scam?
You rise from bed early to cook up a better plan.

[Who doot-do voodoo, play me a tune
Play me a tune
One for the daughter lost in voodoo.
Who doot-do voodo, sing me one too
for the father who taught her, Who Do Voodoo

Voodoo's eyes sparkle mystery and doom
but inside her head there is doubt and there is gloom
doubting her magic and doubting her spell
what if he's right and she sunk the wrong bell?
See, part of his trick, is he shuffles the blame
like a card game or a circus lion tame
After he's managed his greatest escape
She'll drag them both down just to prove his mistake

They say all is fair in both love and war
but not when both parties forgot what it's for
Oh not when ol' Voodoo's involved it's just not fair
Voodoo Man and Voodoo Child are a dangerous pair

[chorus]

Voodoo man feeling my voodoo child ways
weighing him down, we've not spoken for days
can't buy peace and quiet with voodoo until
the circle's been broken. The war rages still.
