Now won't you lend your lungs to me?
Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
Up the time that's passing
Breath I take and breath I give
Pray the day ain't poison
Stand among the ones that live in lonely indecision
My fingers walked the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool it's only moonlight
If you try to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone
Try to find another
Salvation sat and crossed herself
And called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf
Who'll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at it's mouth
Take the water's prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answers
Jesus was an only son
And love His only concept
Strangers cry in foreign tongues
And dirty up the doorstep
And I for one and you for two
Ain't got the time for outside
Just keep your injured looks to you
We'll tell the world we tried
