| [00:11.43] |
I've drowned my conscience and cast another stone |
| [00:14.79] |
I took to preaching while dancing on the code |
| [00:17.79] |
I can't see where I've been and only God knows where I'll be |
| [00:22.11] |
But there must be a place for a wretch like me |
| [00:30.03] |
Oh, Lord knows I'm tired |
| [00:33.15] |
But I, I, I won't rest my head until I'm home |
| [00:35.70] |
And if my hands find themselves another body |
| [00:38.31] |
Well, you can't blame them for trying to keep warm |
| [00:41.04] |
Morals are simply a matter of time |
| [00:49.83] |
And where you lay your head's a question of pride |
| [00:53.07] |
But when it's said and done you'll find in the light |
| [00:55.95] |
That privilege and wit make me misfortune's child |
| [00:59.82] |
Can't tell collapse that it needs to slow down |
| [01:02.10] |
Can't tell death that it shouldn't come around |
| [01:06.39] |
And when they take my head and put it on a stake |
| [01:09.06] |
I know that guilt and disgrace keep the dead man awake |
| [01:14.37] |
Bartering your figure for a paralyzing love |
| [01:16.41] |
What have you done? What have you done? |
| [01:24.09] |
I tipped the scaffold and laughed until I fell |
| [01:26.13] |
Girl, if you need me grab another from the well |
| [01:30.54] |
I can't imagine what hell has in store |
| [01:32.16] |
But I know if I'm there I won't wander anymore |
| [01:36.21] |
Oh, Lord knows I'm tired |
| [01:45.75] |
But I, I, I won't rest my head until I'm home |
| [01:49.68] |
And if my hands find themselves another body |
| [01:52.44] |
Well, you can't blame them for trying to keep warm |
| [02:00.81] |
Oh, Lord knows I'm weak |
| [02:02.22] |
But I, I, I can't clear my head if I'm asleep |
| [02:09.33] |
Morals are simply a matter of tide |
| [02:13.14] |
And where you lay your head's a question of pride |
| [02:16.32] |
But when it's said and done you'll find in the light |
| [02:19.26] |
That privilege and wit make me misfortune's child |
| [02:22.74] |
Can't tell collapse that it needs to slow down |
| [02:24.99] |
Can't tell death that it shouldn't come around |
| [02:29.67] |
And when they take my head and put it on a stake |
| [02:32.19] |
I know that guilt and disgrace keep the dead man awake |
| [02:45.99] |
We've lived under this dark cloud forever |
| [02:48.30] |
Waited for the bad light to break |
| [02:54.96] |
Just let me tell that one again |
| [02:58.65] |
With a little more feeling |
| [02:59.94] |
We slept at the crossroads together |
| [03:02.94] |
Tried to make an honest mistake |
| [03:09.60] |
Just let me tell that one more time |
| [03:12.42] |
Without a smile on my face |
| [03:18.06] |
And now the road is empty as every promise is |
| [03:21.00] |
If life is pointless then point taken, say Amen |
| [03:24.87] |
So light another candle and point my body out to sea |
| [03:28.26] |
Because your heart is no place for a wretch like me |
| [03:33.33] |
Another stranger passing, a common dissonance |
| [03:36.66] |
If life is pointless then point taken, say Amen |
| [03:39.84] |
So light another candle and point my body out to sea |
| [03:43.50] |
Because your side is no place for a wretch like me |
| [03:53.52] |
When they unearth these passages |
| [03:54.27] |
Will I appear to be proud? |
| [03:55.11] |
Not if you're listening close enough |
| [04:02.91] |
Not if you're sounding it out |
