 My ranshackled mind searched out old Jerome

 I said my house is falling it use to be a home he

 Said I told you once I'll tell it to you twice

 She's got to quit or quench her thirst

 For that poison paradise

 She's got to choose never again or forever

 She's got to let it break at the ends or say forever

 But I feel so dark inside

 That I'm clinging to the smallest light

 And I can't hang on and I can't hang on

 It was harvest at the Hazeltown farm

 And in the fields we'd meet meet

 I could feel the pods I know the peas inside were sweet

 But soon I saw her deceptions for the little lies they were

 And I was making all my plans depended upon her

 She's got to choose never again or forever

 She's got to let it break at the ends or say forever

 But I feel so dark inside

 That I'm clinging to the smallest light

 And I can't hang on and I can't hang on

 I don't know what draws the bee into the flower

 But she's the blackest rose

 I got a hard time just seeing thru the clouds

 That hang on her wherever she goes

 Poison paradise served up with the twist

 I held it in a bottle

 It's right there in the ingredents list

 I can't talk anymore and I can't walk away

 I swore my ulitimatum

 And I fear that it's too late

 She's got to choose never again or forever

 She's got to let it break at the ends or say forever

 But I feel so dark inside

 That I'm clinging to the smallest light

 And I can't hang on and I can't hang on
