lyrics

Acquired Taste

Sunny days, silver skies, another plan to devise
Walking through the pouring rain
On a diamond studded cane
Blood running black and gray

I love you baby and I told you so
You love me too and I have always known
It’s more than acquired taste

Words we speak, beads we hold, to whom we pray, stories told
Born into a time and place
Putting on the bravest face
Masking every lucky break

Chorus

A mountain view, coral reef, closer to the never seen
Sometimes it takes my breath away
All the minutes that we waste
On this endless chase

Chorus
