Brown Bones - Takes One to Know One Lyrics

Ragged Like the pants you wore
When you came back from the war
You fought overseas with yourself
Told me you got swept away
That you would be back someday
An old recipe from off the shelf

Still holding that hourglass
Some sand still in the upper half
I must admit, I had to laugh

Surprised by this emergency
The sparrow flies with urgency
I'm taking flight the hour your trouble's calling me

It takes one, to know one
Silence breaks and we become
Make some changes
Break the rules
Can't fake it any longer
Will not be the fool

That demon won the other night
But remember friend its just one fight
You got one life, he aint got none, none, none
He'll trick you and he will deceive
Sell you back your misery
Lead you too a secret place
A land of make-believe

Spirit in a bottle on the basement shelf
Is crying out, "Release yourself!
Release me too, let's both be free and dream..."
Don't fall for that fancy trick
The gold you hold is the heart of it
The little ones, so much older than they seem

It takes one, to know one
Silence break and we become
Make some changes
Break the rule
Can't fake ti any longer
Will not be the fool

It takes one, to know one
Silence break and we become
Make some changes
Break the rule
Can't fake it any longer
Will not be the fool
