Sheba

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, she walks down the busiest streets like an African Queen And she makes a good living from strangers wherever she's been She's always got a drink on somebody's bill And lives in a house up on a hill And nobody knows when she's coming They know that she will [Verse 2] It's a long, long way we've come from a darker day Well, they took all the fun out of it, but people like it that way There are things on the news now testing your faith Maybe it's good, and maybe it ain't Everybody once was a sinner And now they're all saints [Chorus] I know I think about it all the time though There's nothing really for me to hold on to I'm taking the days as they come But I'm right here Stuck between a dream and a nightmare I'm praying for the day when it all comes clear I'm barely just holding my ground 'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Well, she draws out the rags and riches wherever she goes And she knows what it's like to live out in Emperor's clothes She's practiced in the arts of magic and such Ancient blue eyes, electric touch I got to look away when I see her It hurts me so much [Chorus] Well, I know I think about it all the time though There's nothing really for me to hold on to I'm taking the days as they come I'm right here Stuck between a dream and a nightmare I'm praying for the day when it all comes clear I'm barely just holding my ground 'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down
