|
I have not been writing |
|
that many new songs |
|
how I wish I could stay longer |
|
how I wish I'd never gone |
|
You have not been writing |
|
me as often as I wished |
|
and sometimes I think I left you |
|
just to see if I'd be missed |
|
I saw my fortune scrawled out |
|
up against the wall |
|
in a crowded market place |
|
in a town I can't recall |
|
and the teller told me that I would be |
|
young and I would fall |
|
but my new friends all assured me |
|
that it all was surely false |
|
Back at home, you found religion |
|
in a dirty crystal ball |
|
in the back of a dollar store |
|
in that shopping mall |
|
I found religion |
|
out in San Cristobal |
|
now I feel that I've come far enough |
|
to give you a call |
|
I have not been writing |
|
as often as I'd hoped |
|
but there are some things you're good at |
|
and then some you can't control |
|
You have not been visiting |
|
I can't say that I mind |
|
'Cause every time you go somewhere |
|
you leave somewhere behind |
|
I saw my fortune scrawled out |
|
up against the wall |
|
in a crowded market place |
|
in a town I can't recall |
|
and the teller told me that I would be |
|
young and I would fall |
|
but I didn't think he meant so soon |
|
so soon at all |
|
Back at home, you found religion |
|
in a dirty crystal ball |
|
in the back of a dollar store |
|
in that shopping mall |
|
I found religion |
|
out in San Cristobal |
|
now I feel that I've come far enough |
|
to give you a call |
|
So I'm calling now but it says |
|
I don't got the number right |
|
Your body looks to me |
|
a way it never has before |
|
and is this what's making you so sad, |
|
and what you did this for? |
|
She said, |
|
your body looks to me |
|
a way it never has before |
|
and is this what's making you so sad, |
|
and I can't do this anymore |
|
I found religion in a dirty bathroom stall |
|
in the back of a liquor store |
|
in that mini mall |
|
you found religion |
|
when you realized you could fall |
|
now you say that you've come far enough |
|
to give me a call |
|
So you're calling now, |
|
but I lie and I tell you that I moved |
|
Everything's brand new. |
