Cut to the Quick by Olden Yolk Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Did you find your way out
After rolling with the clique?
Or did you start to feel scared?
Or did you start to feel sick?
When the mood gets you down
And you’re shaking on your knees
Did you ever find the sound?
Did you ever feel the same?
[Chorus]
Did your find your way out?
Or did it cut you to the quick?
[Verse 2]
Say you once knew a man
Always shaking in his hips
He reaches out his hands
And he says, “Welcome back
For it’s a cool, cool walk
Through the cool, cool rain”
Did you ever find the sound?
Did you ever feel the same?
[Chorus]
Did your find your way out?
Or did it cut you to the quick?
[Verse 3]
It’s the rhythm in the hands
As they walk down the street
And it’s the balance that gets you whole
In the silence of the beat
It’s the full heart I felt
Down at Stonewall
In the light of an act that was so cold
Sculpted in many days that were untold
Flowers hidden in the streets, tears unfold
If you think of what can follow with that hand
It’s in the seasons of the silence
In which you’ll come back
It’s the love that gets you out
When you shake deep
It’s the love that gets you out on the street
[Chorus/Outro]
Did your find your way out?
Or did it cut you to the quick?
Did you find your way out
After rolling with the clique?
Or did you start to feel scared?
Or did you start to feel sick?
When the mood gets you down
And you’re shaking on your knees
Did you ever find the sound?
Did you ever feel the same?
[Chorus]
Did your find your way out?
Or did it cut you to the quick?
[Verse 2]
Say you once knew a man
Always shaking in his hips
He reaches out his hands
And he says, “Welcome back
For it’s a cool, cool walk
Through the cool, cool rain”
Did you ever find the sound?
Did you ever feel the same?
[Chorus]
Did your find your way out?
Or did it cut you to the quick?
[Verse 3]
It’s the rhythm in the hands
As they walk down the street
And it’s the balance that gets you whole
In the silence of the beat
It’s the full heart I felt
Down at Stonewall
In the light of an act that was so cold
Sculpted in many days that were untold
Flowers hidden in the streets, tears unfold
If you think of what can follow with that hand
It’s in the seasons of the silence
In which you’ll come back
It’s the love that gets you out
When you shake deep
It’s the love that gets you out on the street
[Chorus/Outro]
Did your find your way out?
Or did it cut you to the quick?
