Lyrics to In The Splinters
I stand, all slanted now
A statue on one leg
Your initials, dark and red
Scratched into the boardwalk in ballpoint pen
Any other night
But not this one
Any other night
I'd wish the world would end
On any other night
I'd wish the world would end
But much to my surprise
I'm swept away again
I stand, in the splinters
A stranger in my own skin
You tried your best to knock me down
But someone came along
And built me up again
Any other night
But not this one
Any other night
I'd wish the world would end
On any other night
I'd wish the world would end
But much to my surprise
I'm swept away
La-da-da, da-dum-da-dah, da-dah
I'm swept away again
I'm swept away again
I'm swept away again
I'm swept away
A statue on one leg
Your initials, dark and red
Scratched into the boardwalk in ballpoint pen
Any other night
But not this one
Any other night
I'd wish the world would end
On any other night
I'd wish the world would end
But much to my surprise
I'm swept away again
I stand, in the splinters
A stranger in my own skin
You tried your best to knock me down
But someone came along
And built me up again
Any other night
But not this one
Any other night
I'd wish the world would end
On any other night
I'd wish the world would end
But much to my surprise
I'm swept away
La-da-da, da-dum-da-dah, da-dah
I'm swept away again
I'm swept away again
I'm swept away again
I'm swept away
