Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, so be it
You choose the path of a psychopath
Well, I wasn't born to love at all costs
In fact, I could only love a cause that's been already lost
And I wasn't put on this earth to argue with you
[PreChorus]
Didn't want to look up, but I did
The sky hid
Who knows what's out there, really?
X marks the spot, the whole thing's an X
[Verse 2]
The sun mostly rises
A great golden spike through the heart of the world
Bluebirds in flight twirl towards the words, the words
I think of you in a little outta the way
Café
Comin' undone
You get what you get
And you don't get inside your leather jacket
And walk away
In the direction
Of the horizon
[Verse 3]
Scarcity of feeling and purpose
It's funny you should mention that
There's nothing in there, everything's been burned
I remix horses
[Verse 4]
I closed the book on The Book a thousand pages in
What's in a name? Nothin'!
[Refrain]
Didn't want to look up, but I did
The sky hid
Who knows what's out there, really?
X marks the spot, the whole thing's an X
[Outro]
The Ole Grey Mare isn't what she once was
Nor is The Ignoramus of Love
The Ole Grey Mare isn't what she once was
Nor is The Ignoramus of Love
The Ignoramus of Love
