NORTH TO MONDAY
SOUTH FOR SCALE
WEST TO DREAMING
EAST TO JAIL

ONE FOR DRINKING
TWELVE TO STOP
TWO FOR MURDER
A DIME TO DROP

AND IF YOU NEED TO RUN I'LL FOLLOW BACK
BLAME IT ON THE ONES YOU BURN TO BLACK

EASTER PRINCESS
CHRISTMAS FAIL
NEW YEAR'S SINKING
SUMMER HAIL

FALL IS PAPER
WINTER'S GLASS
SPRING IS GOLDEN
BUT FADING FAST

AND IF YOU NEED TO RUN I'LL FOLLOW BACK
BLAME IT ON THE ONES YOU BURN TO BLACK
AND THE THINGS WE DO TO MARK OUR TIME
HELPS US FEEL THAT THERE IS MORE TO FIND

VALENTINE FUTURE
HALLOWEEN PAST
SKATE THE SOLSTICE
YEAR 'ROUND THE MAP

THE CLOCK IS TICKING
CALENDAR'S FULL
SAVE ME FROM THE THINGS
I DO NOT KNOW

AND IF YOU NEED TO RUN I'LL FOLLOW BACK
BLAME IT ON THE ONES YOU BURN TO BLACK
AND THE THINGS WE DO TO MARK OUR TIME
HELPS US FEEL THAT THERE IS MORE TO FIND

WE LOST AN HOUR
OR SO THEY CLAIM
BETTER BELIEVE THEM
TO STAY THE SAME

IT'S RAINING NEVER
SUNSHINE IS STALE
THE FROST OF LIVING
IS LEAVING TRAILS
