Hard Time (Pinnochio Blues)

Well I didn’t know you were there, the possibilities in the air
No one here to show, we had it all wrong
No one there to calm the night, to ease it up before it set alight
Just a happy band of flame growers, with banshees to lead us on


A poor boy and worried girl, they just wanted to change their world
Now I’d give all I have, for the shade of it back
And there’s nothing I can do, only now seeing things new
Looking straight at some hard time blue


There, in the mouth of the storm
Jackals sniping, snuffing out signs of day
Wherever, however, as often as they came
Hanging all our hopes on a glittered star
The more red with rage, the more false they are
Running with the crowd and misled, so far


A poor boy and worried girl, who just wanted to save the world
Now I’d give all I have, for a taste of it back
And there’s nothing I can do, only now seeing things true 
Looking straight at some hard time blue

Now I need someone to point me the way
Need someone, set me in the way
This side of the storm, you know I’m needing someone

We found a stranger in our house and home   
With polished fingers and smiles of gold
We turned him out, let the devil back in 
With a hundred more, a thousand times worse than ever before
It took some wise old men, guardians faithful
To see it coming from miles away


A poor boy and worried girl, they just wanted to change the world
Now I’d give all I have, for the touch of it back
When there’s nothing I can do, only now knowing
What it truly feels like, to be played and used
Looking straight at some hard time blue
