And you can’t save the world on your own
Forget about the cause
Press rewind then stop and pause
Kunst & Liebe Frequency Machine
I’m sweating tears
I’ve been there and I am there still
Mid-aftermath
Heroic and colossal baby
When you look back
Put on a gown that touches the ground
Float on a river forever and ever
So scorn divine and mourn the pride
The cold has spoken and drawn the line
Called me a fool in L.A
I doubt that Nashville saw me coming
Besides the bar folks working late
I thought that they could end
No, no it was a deception
The number of tears and the number of beers
Were dried out and uncounted for a number of years
Kid, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think you can
Do what you been doin’?
Chewed into shape like a stone on the shore
But if there was lightning in me
You’d know who it was for
And his three points on the home team
Gin in his blood from a lifetime in front of some barkeep.
Jokes in his head to break up the ice at the parties
A whole lifetime trying to find someone to laugh
After the death of the punchline.
The lamb can wander from the flock
In shopping malls and parking lots
Sometimes the shepherd brings him back
Some nights the wheels just spin
Well, he cursed all the roads and the oil men
And he cursed the automobile
Said; “This is no place for an hombre like I am
In this new world of asphalt and steel.”
