No, Those Aren't Ruby Slippers

lyrics

I’m sorry Tinman, but I can only give you a third of what you asked for.
I bet you’ll love it, but over time it was no friend to me.
Two is more balanced; I learned that the hard way.
And it is no use having something that just makes you need.

Love has turned the soles of my shows into a bundle of wooden matches
As I travel to the greener grass on the other side.
I seem inviting from afar as I walk on the remains of something familiar.
But with every step, I leave only scorched Earth,
And seldom am I offered any seeds to cover up my tracks,
But at the time the spark ignites, the fire’s glow was always brilliant

A heart is a heart is apart
(All the fire in the world couldn’t burn my skin)
(All the agony and sin won’t heal a heart)
(Let me Walk, Let me Walk, Let me Walk, Let me Walk)

I’m sorry Tinman, I can give you only trickery and deception.
Don’t quite ask how yet, the less you think, the happier you’ll be.
And if you’re lucky, you’ll find more satisfaction there than I did.
If you want stories, don’t ask me.
