High mass, wise ass Bird in the wood Equal measure: Evil and good See no footprints When I take thy Goodnight 

I met a man whom I'll never doubt Flew into the sun, our bodies on fire Betrothed to a mate, pray it is not so Invoke father time, then he let her go Lie true lie true lie true lie true Lie true lie true lie true lie true Lie true lie true lie true lie true L...
