[Verse 1]
You were brave as a chessboard queen
But the shoe didn’t fit your feet
Cover the mouth of the Earth’s great cough
You can’t always get what you want

[Verse 2]
So you lie in the driveway snow
'Til you’re white as a bed sheet ghost
Bathed in the light of a star long dead
No one can tell how it ends

[Chorus 1]
If you’re blind to love
Why don't you say it, love?
It doesn’t amount to much
You're a grail without the blood
If you’re blind to me
Why do you say you see?
Shouldn’t it always be
Clear to us?

[Verse 3]
Did you carve out a place in the world?
Were your white little bones of a bird
Crushed like a husk in the Great Deceiver's mouth?
I hope it’s all working out

[Chorus 2]
Cause if you’re blind to love
You shouldn’t try to love
It doesn’t amount to much
You're a holy with no ghost
And if you’re blind to me
Why do you try to see?
Shouldn’t it always be
Obvious?

[Outro]
Proud like a hunter with a bow
Cowed like a prisoner below
I don’t sleep so well
I woke up here on the crowded seats of a bus
I was a husk
