Missy got off the bus one day |
| [00:28.40] |
In a crowd of people, downtown LA |
| [00:31.17] |
She looked around as if to say, 'I'm home' |
| [00:36.03] |
But I'm home |
| [00:38.25] |
|
| [00:38.69] |
I find someone to love |
| [00:40.18] |
And some place to drink |
| [00:41.25] |
And some time when I can just sit and think |
| [00:43.88] |
And I don't mind if I catch the stink of these drones |
| [00:48.60] |
Lord, of these drones |
| [00:51.58] |
Just as long as I'm never alone |
| [00:58.98] |
|
| [01:01.95] |
She had eyes as big as porcelain plates |
| [01:04.68] |
And skin as thin as paper drapes |
| [01:07.25] |
And she loved the Lord the way an apostate loves songs |
| [01:14.97] |
And she'd sing to him before she went to sleep: |
| [01:17.71] |
"I pray to you, my soul to keep |
| [01:20.14] |
You're shepherd, then I'll be your sheep |
| [01:23.60] |
Until dawn, oh until dawn |
| [01:27.85] |
Well I'd follow you, even if it was wrong" |
| [01:35.18] |
|
| [02:17.18] |
I met her one night at the coffee shop |
| [02:19.66] |
Her face so bright, my heart just stopped |
| [02:22.37] |
Hello my dear, I fear I'm not what I seem |
| [02:26.75] |
Not what I seem |
| [02:30.26] |
I should've become a better man |
| [02:32.65] |
I should be more deserving than |
| [02:35.36] |
The beggar, thief and courtesan I've been |
| [02:39.94] |
Oh, that I've been |
| [02:42.94] |
But I swear, I lie, I curse all of my dreams |
| [02:50.72] |
|
| [02:55.98] |
But I swear there's still some good in me |
| [02:58.57] |
And I think if you stuck around you'd see |
| [03:01.12] |
All the honest attempts at integrity, I was had |
| [03:09.04] |
Maybe if you helped me, I'd get it right |
| [03:11.25] |
I lie awake every night, staring at the ceiling |
| [03:14.21] |
Wondering why I feel so bad, why I feel so bad |
| [03:21.65] |
But I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get sad |
| [03:34.36] |
|
