Kelly Willis - Lifeline

Last call came in a burst in the room
Shoved me out like a cruel push broom
Lowered my shoulder to the crackling snow
Older and colder then I'm ever supposed to be

Stuck here cursing your name
Last in line first in flames
Still like a bowling pin
Watching the ball roll in

CHORUS:
Send me -
Send me a lifeline, little bit of hope
In the deep dark grind, I need a little bit of rope
I was always hoping to find
Always hoping to find a little lifeline

There was a crack down in the street tonight
The stars and the boys ended up in a fight
One step over the line
Says that his daddy knows mine

So I blew out like the wind from a sail
One false move and you're sitting in jail
I'll trade you baby for what I don't know
Hold me close, angel throw me a

Chorus:
Lifeline, little bit of hope
In the deep dark grind, I need a little bit of rope
It was always hoping to find
Always hoping to find a little lifeline

-[Instrumental break]-

True love comes in the park
'Neath the rocks and the trees and the rocks and the dark
The girls just push past the boys like me
They like the blokes with the jokes and the smokes in their sleeves

She used to curl up
Like the steam from a train
I can still her see her but she's gone just the same
Pulls her hand from mine
So damn hard to find you, find you, find you

Chorus:
A little lifeline, little bit of hope
In the deep dark grind, I need a little bit of rope
It was always hoping to find
Always hoping to find a little lifeline

I need a lifeline, little bit of hope
In the deep dark grind, I need a little bit of rope
It was always hoping to find
Always hoping to find a little lifeline
