Run, Thomas, Run! They All Want You Dead​!​!

lyrics

Well they call me
Thomas Ever After
See me shining, redolent
unashamed
I might be mad, I may be clumsy
but I make everything lovely
That was always
the reason for my fame.

There was a girl that I loved
but she's all gone now
My family, my wealth all the same.
When the darkness gathers 'round
when you're swallowed up by the ground,
well, buddy,
you know my name.


But you must be careful
inside the garden.
Don't cut your foot.
Don't break a toe.
There is trouble
on every path you'll ever follow.
Everywhere, the shadows grow
the deeper you go.

There's the nails,
the splinters, and the jewlery.
The roses with their
thirsty red thorns.
There are seeds there that find their way
inside of you.
They'll have you growing flowers
from the tips of your horns.



Don't believe what you hear
in the barrooms
don't pay attention the den of the blasphemers
You can't be judged by a bad wind or a fire
I would never have done those kinds of things to her.

Follow me
Follow me into the garden.
Everything is gonna be fine from now on, you'll see.
you'll be right with the lord
you'll never be ignored
I can tell you're one of the good ones, like me.
