Steady woman, won't you come on down?
I need you right here on the ground
I've walked the outskirts of this town
Been terrorized by what I've found
I saw a standing virgin bride
Where holy Dionysus died
She tore the heart out of his side
And laid it there and there she cried
Whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o
She said, "Hello, I'm a monster too
And what poisons me is what poisons you"
Into these animals, we grew
But when we were young, our eyes were blue
And I take my medicine on my knee
Twice a day but lately three
It keeps the devil from my door
And it makes me rich and it makes me poor
I'm a beggar in the morning
I'm a king at night
My belt is loose and my trigger is tight
May it come without warning
At the speed of the light
Make it shine so pretty, make it shine so bright
I think I've come a long, long way
To sit before you here today
And they're yours alone, the songs I play
To take with you or to throw away
Whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o
Oh, I want an angel to wipe my tears
Know my dreams, my hopes, desires and fears
We may capsize but we won't drown
Hold each other as the sun goes down
I'm a beggar in the morning
I'm a king at night
My belt is loose and my trigger is tight
May it come without warning
At the speed of the light
Make it shine so pretty, make it shine so bright
