Boy Cried Wolf [Live]

All the fuss and fight none above a whisper

And the boy cried wolf
A prayin' for the lamb that is himself
Wolf within
Passed the bowl around

And he turned his head, let the arrows fly

Well they drew him from the forest like they draw blood

Innocence had its day
And the blood, the blood, the sacramental blood
In the ancient mold where they're dancin' down
I don't care, I don't mind

Ohh the story's told been told, retold
And they fell on their knees

Torn reborn the cries of our dismay
Garlands of blood that are myself
They bring me flowers that are myself
Tied him to a tree like St. Sebastian
And the boy cried wolf
Wolf don't come
Wolf within
Wolf within
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
Well they drew him from the forest like they draw blood
Boy cried wolf
And the boy cried wolf
Wolf don't come
I am the wake of everything
The kings are lifted up and kings are thrown
Lost, received, retrieved the human tide
From the secret scriptures to the tabloids

Wolf don't come
Innocence had its day
Boy cried wolf
Slain the lamb that is myself
Are nothin' to the wind but whose to mind
From the soul of gold to the belly of a boy
I don't know, I don't know
In the trees, the trees, the ornamental leaves
Tied him to a tree like St. Sebastian
Calling to the moon but it don't answer
In the trees, the trees, the ornamental leaves
Boy cried wolf
You're in the body, I am the stream

And he turned his head, let the arrows fly
