Plastic Paperbacks Lyrics - Blood/candy - Posies

Once I had money but now I'm so far from home 

Once I was loved by a woman but now there's nothing but cold stone 

I was hard, man but what was there to understand? 

Along that wind, were you searching for the start of sin? 

Journeys taken in search of that terrible eye 

Turned over horizons under which no sun wants to lie 

But that trust which comes into the thick of it 

I got that back with a stack of plastic paperbacks 

But to love you, oh, to love you 

But to love you, oh, to love you 

One by one I pressed those letters in your hand 

Like a Gutenberg Bible burning at midnight on the sand 

You've been up, held where innocence has never dwelled 

But that's all right, there's a Bible burning giving light, oh 

But to love you, oh, to love you 

But to love you, oh, to love you 

We've got all night to stare into the anthracite 

The cold black flame, we've been burning plastic paperbacks again, oh 

Ooh, oh
