  • When the Bull Throws Us to the Ground

    there are always strings attached
    when two people are mismatched
    straight out of the gate
    the bull is bucking hard
    teeth are loosened and jarred
    trampled sod is our fate
    when that bull throws us to the ground

    we got to cut those strings
    we got to cut those ties
    the happiness it brings
    cuts the grey out of blue skies

    love blooms when it's ready
    helps the heart beat steady
    the world spins around
    that's the way it should be
    breathing deep, breathing free
    as we land face down
    when that bull throws us to the ground

    we got to cut those strings
    we got to cut those ties
    oh the joy that it brings
    cuts the grey out of blue skies

    we're gonna get hurt
    we're gonna lose our shirt
    we're gonna get busted up
    zoom in for our close-up
    we're gonna get smeared
    and then we're gonna get jeered
    we're gonna grin and bear it
    that's just what love does
    it's just what we do
    in a less than perfect world

    we'll keep cutting those strings
    we'll keep cutting those ties
    how long till others realize
    all the joy that it brings
    in cutting the grey out of our skies
