The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
On the limb cut down in the middle of the night caught in a trap Cursed by the crown of the wandering man who was never coming back Stuck on the line spinning all of his time with his back to the throne With the flash of the round everybody in town said leave me alone Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio Your heart will never say so Your heart will never let you go Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio My heart will never say so My heart will never let you go I got caught in the middle of a hurricane fight facing the ground Beast to the wild with the porcelain smile as it passes around The truth in the skies from the billowing eyes isn't working on me Don't you think you gotta give me Give me something I want Give me something I need Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio Your heart will never say so Your heart will never let you go Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio My heart will never say so My heart will never let you go Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio Your heart will never say so Your heart will never let you go Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio My heart will never say so My heart will never let you go Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio My heart will never say so My heart will never let you go
