Sweet Release Sam the Sham

[Verse 1]
I was born on a side road far from here
While the town was burnin' out my dark window
I was crowned with a cage of cold barbed wire
And my bottle I keep with me 'til now

[Verse 2]
Curse my pain, curse the sunrise every dawn, woah
Oh, those sidewalks ran me ragged, and those cracks my only guide
Long for midnight, long for darkness, sweet release
Beg the alleys for your endless time to cease, woah

[Verse 3]
Screaming blackbird on my shoulders
Mark my nearness to its youth
Left my senses reelin' as I cried, you know I cried
And he cried back, "Yeah, I understand you"

[Bridge]
I want somebody to give me [?]
All these months later, and I'm comin'g through

[Verse 4]
Try, try the handle, try the doorway, try the path
Try to enter, to enter, try to find some solace there, woah, there
In this clearing, you'll find nothing, nothing but a song
Give it breath, give it sunshine and with you it will belong, woah, long
