A Common Disaster Songtext
von Cowboy Junkies

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
