HELLBENT & MOONBOUND
I was loose in the world before you
I was loose in the world
Those without roots soon get shook loose
and they rattle around like dice
You said “I think you can do better”
I said “I’m not afraid to try”
I’ve got to hook, no line, no tether
nothing I can’t leave behind
I been out walking on a wire
I fall and slip down through the cracks
I swim around down in the dark
and see my own self staring back
I’m hellbent and moonbound
I’m in too deep
Might as well double down
How’d you like to hold me
Hold me close, don’t let me go
We’re still slow dancing
down on Delancey
after all the bars are closed
I’m hellbent and moonbound
I’m in too deep
Might as well double down
I’m hellbent and moonbound
I’m in too deep
Might as well double down
