Michael Penn - Half Harvest lyrics

I don't care that you won't quit this notion

Of burying the carnival

But what the hell is in your potion that's made you so dull?

So I cannot make a blind from sawdust

Much less a cool millenium

But I'd much rather feel the heat of August

Than be sheltered and numb

So move out of your bed of roses

Now I'm putting in a bed of nails

Cause missles, guns and rubber hoses will land me in jail

This paradise is slowly crumbling

From here to Wilshire Boulevard

But the rubble over which you're stumbling

Just isn't that hard

What did you do with all that grace now?

What did you do with all my wine?

What makes you think that just cause you dress right

Means that you shine

So move out of your bed of roses

Now I'm putting in a bed of nails

Cause when this whole production closes

That innocence fails

Weren't we supposed to shine

Like half harvest never shone

Shine like half harvest never known

So move out of your bed of roses

Now I'm putting in a bed of nails

Cause when this whole production closes

Then innocence fails

Shine like half harvest never shone

Shine like half harvest never known

Shine like half harvest never known

Shine like half harvest never shone

Shine

Shine like half harvest never known

Shine
