Broadback

Broadback, you're a fortified wall and all that

We'd hoped you could hold the attack

But, but, but broadback, the well passed fire and that's

Gotta keep the sanctum intact

Should they bludgeon your redwood thighs

And you are left to writhe

Your body's not something I can carry back

Don't ask to let you die

Broadback, remember the name you carved in the pew?

You're always in use, my beautiful bloom

Broadback, of course you're strong and all that

But what hope am I should you collapse?

Should they bludgeon your redwood thighs

And you are left to writhe

Your body's not something I can carry back

And I don't want you to die

Don't want you to, don't want you to, don't want you to die

Don't want you to, don't want you to, don't want you to die

Bravery and dauntlessness is worth nothing of discretion

No matter what I do, I won't get you to avoid a confrontation

Bravery and dauntlessness speak volumes less than caution

I won't be left alone with all your clothes and no reason to wash them

Don't want you to die

Don't want you to, don't want you to, don't want you to die

Don't want you to, don't want you to, don't want you to die

Don't want you to, don't want you to, don't want you to die

Don't want you to, don't want you to, don't want you to die

You better come back and ride
