Loose String - Son Volt

One-way streets and square one

The answers don’t come from any one direction

Not a care in the world, where does next step go

You can’t make it, you just have to put it down

Half the trouble’s in the askin'

And I know you’re not the kind to wait around

Takin' chances with no intent to make a killin'

Too much livin' is no way to die

Loose string, loose string

Find the pieces don’t fit in

Loose string

Comin' up for air again and again

Loose string

Too much livin' is no way to die

See the ground sinkin' 'round

Sinkin' 'round, tomorrow’s a card to play

Same old words heard in storms, repeated doom

Too many rules, they will bleed you dry

Half the trouble’s in the askin'

And I know you’re not the kind to wait around

Takin' chances with no intent to make a killin'

Too much livin' is no way to die

Loose string, loose string

Find the pieces don’t fit in

Loose string

Comin' up for air again and again

Loose string

Too much livin' is no way to die

Said you haven’t seen it all

You’ll keep on searchin'

For just one single reason

Half the trouble’s in the askin'

And I know you’re not the kind to wait around

Takin' chances with no intent to make a killin'

Too much livin' is no way to die

Loose string, loose string

Find the pieces don’t fit in

Loose string

Comin' up for air again and again

Loose string
