Bible Passages

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I put my pen down, it only writes words about you I look out my window, but you always trump the view No matter where I go All I see is you I took a look outside There's a streetlight burning gold against a milky sky The stars a million-fold, a constellation shines All I see is you [Chorus] And though I'm all caught up and tangled, child My aim is tried and true It's always "you should see the other guy" When I come home black and blue They used to read me Bible passages In sixth and seventh grade I was asleep before, but now I am awake [Verse 2] I pray to several gods, they don't return my calls I saw the opera, but it made no sensе at all I'm up against the odds All I see is you [Bridge 1] There's only onе thin dime between the streets and I On and on it rolls [Chorus] Though I'm all caught up and tangled, child My aim is tried and true It's always "you should see the other guy" When I come home black and blue They used to read me Bible passages In sixth and seventh grade I was asleep before, but now I am awake [Bridge 2] Don't matter if it takes all night I ain't got anything else to do but drive Let the morning son lick the sky My eyes won't rest until they rest on you [Chorus] And though I'm all caught up and tangled, child My aim is tried and true It's always "you should see the other guy" When I come home black and blue They used to read me Bible passages In sixth and seventh grade I was asleep before, but now I am awake
