It's all an amalgam of a certain dismay
The braids of an album of your courtly way
The chains and the chagrin that turns us to grey
Don't fade, oh don't fade, no don't fade away
The love that we've known has been in buckets and spades
And love is a greasy pole we must all climb in our way
But choosing between you and the bright highway
Of I know, oh I know that I cannot stay, no I cannot stay
The stars in the night sky they've all gone away
The dust in the grain barns, the fields of clay
All of it's hardened to a mask made of hay
And now I'm the straw man, now I'm the straw man
Who must break in my way
Shoot through me sorrow, shoot through me wine
But I must now swallow the bitter pill that's mine
Yes I must bite the bullet and face up to the truth
That you'll never love me in a jacket that's bullet proof
Talk to me of hardships and stories untold
I've been given twelve lashes for stealing your gold
I borrowed it from the rainbow, because the rain was too cold
And the leprechaun didn't want it, he said it was sold
