Cowboy Junkies Lyrics

Album: Lay It Down

A common disaster Lyrics

A candle burning for everything I've ever wanted

A tattoo burned for everything I've ever wanted and lost

I had a long list of names that I kept in my back pocket,

but I've cut it down to one and your name's at the top

Won't you share a common disaster?

Share with me a common disaster

A common disaster

I found myself a friend,

but he's crooked as a stick in water

So now I'm writing fairy tales

to catch the spirit of revenge

He's got a plan to steal my little sister,

but I'm not too concerned

'cause I will get him in the end

Won't you share a common disaster?

Share with me a common disaster

A common disaster

Going to find me someone to share

A common disaster

Run away with me from a life so cramped and dull

Not worry too much about the happily-ever-after

Just keep the Caddy moving

'til we're well beyond that hill

Won't you share a common disaster?

Share with me a common disaster

A common disaster
