Good Mistake

Blood on your hands and your hands still roam
But your secret is safe with the garden gnome
Those marks on your neck never seem to fade
Bring a marching band for the masquerade
Oh lonely man
You know you can
A pocket knife
Will serve you well Remember what you're good for There's much more to life
Under the sun ("aye")
It's not what they can see
Until it's done ("aye")
Your secret's safe with me
Blow out the candles on your cake
It's another year due with the same mistakes
Blind like a bat when you hit that wall
Now who's gonna come Who you gonna call
Oh lonely man
You know you can
A pocket knife
Will serve you well Remember what you're good for There's much more to life
Under the sun ("aye")
It's not what they can see
Until it's done ("aye")
Your secret's safe with me
I can see you run I can see you're undone Shadow to the sun Shadow to the sun
See a rule to break See another rule to make It's a good mistake Shadow next to none
Under the sun ("aye")
It's not what they can see
Until it's done ("aye")
Your secret's safe with me
Broken bones in a walking man
It's a trick to the eye It's a rubber band
Don't let it go Let it fall a part
It's a heavy load For a tender heart
