Time Is a Length Of Rope - O'Brother

careful where you leap

there’s holes on either side

and time is a length of rope

my tendency to gravitate a cause

is running wild as i watch you choke

take it easy, i don’t wanna fight

oh what terrible things,

we say in the name of love

the lines we hide in heartless tones

oh how could we think

to to kick out the legs of our throne

while tied at the throat by a length of rope
