Amaretto Rise from Monogram #1 by Grant Olding

Amaretto Rise

Take the long road home, keep walking away from me.
Just listen to yourself begging on your knee,
That’s not the way to be.

I tell you this aint right, it shouldn’t be this way.
You’re bleeding from your mouth, and got nothing to say.
And I’ve got no will to play.

I washed away the coffee stains,
I lost my heart in the penny arcade and you know…

There’s a red star shining in a dark grey sky,
Shining in my sleepy eyes,
Watching amaretto rise.

You’re talking in your sleep and keeping me awake.
this time is not my own, nor is it yours to take.
Try giving me a break.

I should lay down into the earth with me.
I’m dragging you around, when will you let me be,
and tell me what you see.

I hung around the bowling lanes,
and lost my job at the penny arcade but you know…

There’s a red star shining in a dark grey sky,
Shining in my sleepy eyes,
Watching amaretto rise.

I took apart the weather vain.
And lost my money to the penny arcade.
But I can still see the coffee stains.

There’s a red star shining in a dark grey sky,
Shining in my sleepy eyes,
Watching a morello red star shining in a dark grey sky.
Shining in my sleepy eyes,
Watching amaretto rise.

There’s a red star shining in a dark grey sky,
Shining in my sleepy eyes,
Watching amaretto rise.

Keep looking down, down, down.
