Use It For Good

(album: The Black Cat Neighbourhood - 2011)

Stakes, you stack them so high
I collect flakes
And I watch them fly

Why don't you take it
And use it for good?
Why don't you take what it is you that you have and put it
Where I think you should?

Offer me shelter, hmm
Offer me a home, hmm
Where we can sit, and sit, and sit
And never be alone

Why don't you take it
And use it for good?
Why don't you take what it is you that you have and put it
Where I think you should?

Use it for good if you know that you can
Use it for good if you know that you can
Pick up the stones, they are safe in your hands
Before we both fall with nowhere to land

Use it for good if you know that you can
Use it for good if you know that you can
Pick up the stones, they are safe in your hands
Before we both fall with nowhere to land

Breaks, we both have survived
I have made you scared
With all my goodbyes

I'm gonna take it and use it for good
I'm gonna take what I have and put it
Exactly where you think I should

Let's get a sublet, hmm
with a dog and a cat, hmm
Where we can sit, and sit, and sit
And drive each other mad

Why don't you take it
and use it for good?
Why don't you take what it is that you have and put it
Where I think you should?
