Songwriter: Jakob Dylan
Be still the wooden heart
And in the hours left
And he says who will ignore me when you're gone?
He says who will forgive you when I'm gone?
What you give is what you get
Who carries evil out, evil will come
He's waiting on a spark
For the drunken marionette
Be still the wooden heart
Intoxicated with sad songs
Wouldn't ever part
That wouldn't ever part
They sing 'Auld Lang Syne'
With the drunken marionette
That hasn't happened yet
For the drunken marionette
Here comes your drunken marionette
And I've got mutiny on my mind
There at the bar pulling smoke to his lungs
Be still the wooden heart
Dragging his mess of threads
These days I'm worried 'bout your debts
Now come on lift me up
Now here he comes, here he comes
Here he comes, here he comes
Now carry on
Who will ignore me when you're gone?
Been mainlining bad thoughts
Be still the wooden heart
And turn the lights low when you go
Here he comes, here he comes
That hasn't happened yet
He's waiting on a spark
Who will forgive you when I'm gone?
Who will forgive you when I'm gone?
Here he comes, here he comes
He says who will defend you when I'm gone?
That wouldn't ever part
That hasn't happened yet
He's waiting on a spark
You're tower of beauty with a split in your tongue
Been drinking things, I wish, I'd not
A guilty conscience means at least you've got one

Well, I wanna dance by your tin cup
He says who will ignore me when you're gone?
Who will defend you when I'm gone?
That wouldn't ever part
I hope you feel the things that I know, I won't
