Steal Away
Let us steal away to meet beneath the pines
Among the moss and lichen we will find
Two bodies set aflame with souls entwined

Green trees

I’m screwed-up…my hair is sopping wet…I’m waiting for it to drain

Lift me higher than the

Let's Steal Away
Lets Steal Away
Let's jet up in the sky
where the clouds are high
and eat pie while we're still alive.
Who knows how much time is left
the dark side of the moom could drift our way
then death could stumble in.
Let's take our chances in the balloon,
just you and me, enjoying the afternoon
up in the air,
