Thorns of Life Lyrics

I am setting up this blog because I sometimes like to read Blake Schwartzenbach's lyrics while I listen to his music. Unfortunately, there aren't any Thorns of Life lyrics available online, and they are a bit tricky to figure out by listening to the Gilman Street recording. Hence I thought I would publish my error-filled attempts to decode the lyrics and hope that internet users would come to my aid and offer improvements. I'll post each song as a separate entry in the hope that the comment field becomes a place for suggested changes. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
