Duke of Sorrow - Strung Out

A ballad of a lonely night, the artist and the ache

A broken girl, a desperate boy

The love we give is the love we take

Lovers in the dark away from angry eyes that stare

Battle songs from nowhere bars

And lonely hearts that go nowhere

Some say the art of life is in the smile that you wear

When you remember every line to every song that kept you here

Like flowers from the grave and promises too vain to keep

To be your brother’s keeper with the song that you seek

I’ve been wrong and I’ve been right

I’ve been raising hell all night

Been alone in quiet places

With a bottle and song

I’ve been here and I’ve been there

I’ve been wasted everywhere

I walked a mile just to know

What it was like

To be The Duke Of Sorrow

Making out in lonely parks

Ditching school to skate that pool

A poor boy and a hungry band too desperate to be cool

Everybody stated out

Some with more, some without

And it’s never what you had

It’s everything you could do without

I’ve been wrong and I’ve been right

I’ve been raising hell all night

Been alone in quiet places

With a bottle and song

I’ve been here and I’ve been there

I’ve been wasted everywhere

I walked a mile just to know

What it was like

To be The Duke Of Sorrow

And I’ve been wrong and I’ve been right

I’ve been raising hell all night

Been alone in quiet places

With a bottle and song

I’ve been here and I’ve been there

I’ve been wasted everywhere

I walked a mile just to know

What it was like

To be The Duke Of Sorrow
