[Verse 1]
There's a pine on fire
And your eyes get wide, excited by the violence it inspires
There's a spark on the wire
Oh Joanna I'm stuck, oh Joanna I'm tired

[Chorus]
And you say, "Oh man, well you can't out-run it
And it can't be undone
Shadows jumpin' like puppets and laughin' at you"

[Verse 2]
There were times I lied
But there were times where you were clapping and laughing
There were honest times too
There were times you cried
So I said "Extend your giving hand, Joanna
And I'll cry with you"

[Chorus]
But I know, I know that I cannot change it
And it can't be undone
Shadows stretchin' and scratchin' at your heels where you run
But I know, I know that I cannot change it
And it can't be undone
Shadows stretchin' and scratchin' at your heels where you run
