Our Own Pretty Ways

Let's not spill the truth

It's easier being alone

You're a shadow of the old

And I want something new

You've quit dreaming again

I can see it now clear

But I'll wake up every morning

With the big black and the blue

Let's take this for what it is

You tell me you have changed

Well we all change in our own ways

In our own pretty ways

It all comes down to this

I'm an ocean, you're the rain

The ice is melting fast

But you're not pulling down the brakes

You'll start drinking again

I can see it now clear

How you'll wake up every morning

With a new bird in your cage

Even the most peaceful town

Once was a battle ground

Well we all change in our own ways

In our own pretty ways

Even in our police state

Someone dares to demonstrate

Well we fight in our own ways

But nothing ever change
