A Strange Loss

You may keep all your secrets
A little further from your thoughts
You can throw out the prescriptions
Sleepless nights have brought
You can change the wicked laws
And the colour of your hair
You're the jailer of your burden, dear
And I've come to take my share
To wipe out all your memories
Of the rules we use to trust
You're a thief that has been stolen from
I will pay for what we've lost
A strange loss we drew
A strange loss we drew
I know I can't make up for it
But I'll give my best to you
In my suit of tar-and-feathers
I will hold you through the night
If you wanna rise together, dear
Let's rise into a light
A strange loss we drew
A strange loss we drew
I know I can't make up for it
But I'll give my best to you
I know I can't make up for it
But I'll try my best for you
