Baalam’s Ass

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah, I've always wandered by this riverside I've always wondered what it's like to be more than alive Yeah, the bossman says, "I'd advise you resist" I just nod my head and look off in the distance Nod my head and look off in the distance [Pre-Chorus] These days I never go out looking much Or feeling my best I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this stuff It clings to my flesh [Chorus] One is men's hearts that are failing for fear Two, see the carnage strewn on the shore Three, are the life boats full to capacity? Four, is there room for just one more? Five, you will feel like the Great Wallenda Six, as he stepped out over Tallulah Gorge Seven, I will bind myself to the truth And speak it like Balaam's ass once more Say yeah Life boats are burning Say yeah Life boats are burning [Verse 2] Said, "It's days like today that make me know God is near" She said it matter of fact, said it so sincere Well, He's got your eyes and He's got my ears Hope He sees what you see, hope He hears what I hear Sees what you see, hope He hears what I hear [Pre-Chorus] These days I never go out looking much Or feeling my best I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this stuff It clings to my flesh [Chorus] One is men's hearts that are failing for fear Two, see the carnage strewn on the shore Three, are the life boats full to capacity? Four, is there room for just one more? Five, you will feel like the Great Wallenda Six, as he stepped out over Tallulah Gorge Seven, I will bind myself to the truth And speak it like Balaam's ass once more Say yeah Life boats are burning Say yeah Life boats are burning Said yeah Life boats are burning Say yeah Life boats are burning [Verse 3] The Statue of Liberty, I could just stand and stare at her I've always heard that sports builds character Masses and multitudes mumbling their parts Dying come crawling with holes in their hearts [Pre-Chorus] These days I never go out looking much Or feeling my best I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this stuff It clings to my flesh [Chorus] One is men's hearts that are failing for fear Two, see the carnage strewn on the shore Three, are the life boats full to capacity? Four, is there room for just one more? Five, you will feel like the Great Wallenda Six, as he stepped out over Tallulah Gorge Seven, I will bind myself to the truth And speak it like Balaam's ass once more Say yeah Life boats are burning Say yeah Life boats are burning Say yeah Life boats are burning Say yeah Life boats are burning
