Rabbit - Matthew Ryan

Door swings shut, keys are cold

Engine cranks and hums

Pull away, feeling slow

By and by, in the hollow

Don’t fool yourself, it’s hard and soon

Life alone will humble you

Red lights blur, the rain in sheets

It’s black above and blue beneath

All my life, «Rabbit,» they said

«If you weren’t so quick you’d be dead»

Don’t fool yourself, it’s hard and soon

Life alone will humble you

Thick red hair, sunken eyes

Round as pearls, dim as bar lights

Where a haunted sound can always be heard

In even the truest of laughter

Don’t fool yourself, it’s hard and soon

Life alone will humble you
