A Common Disaster — Cowboy Junkies

A candle burning for everything Ive ever wanted

A tattoo burned for everything Ive ever wanted and lost

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

But Ive cut it down to one and your names at the top

Wont you share a common disaster?

Share with me a common disaster

A common disaster

I found myself a friend,

But hes crooked as a stick in water

So now Im writing fairy tales

To catch the spirit of revenge

Hes got a plan to steal my little sister,

But Im not too concerned

cause I will get him in the end

Wont 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 were well beyond that hill

Wont you share a common disaster?

Share with me a common disaster

A common disaster
