Looking like a song in a dress, halo coming down from a street light Begging for the city's caress, meet me at a quarter to midnight We're gonna throw away the goods and the evils and let the apathetic awake In the shadows of the neon cathedrals, Im gonna let you tie me up on a stake Come on make me feel it, you got my whole heart burning in effigy Come on give me one good look, let me cry my eyes in Come on make me feel it, and may the flames pass over the best of me Come on let the ash pile up and tomorrow begin Listen to the clock tick, feeling like a heretic, living all my life in a straight line I hear the picture in the polished glass talkin to me, now I turn the other cheek for the last time and maybe one day they're gonna share my name with the members of the congregation 'Cause when the wind picks up we're gonna go for a ride, scattered to the edge of creation May the ropes we burn here never be replaced May we cast ourselves into the flow of grace Come on make me feel it Come on make me feel it, you got my whole heart burning in effigy Come on give me one good look, let me cry my eyes in Come on make me feel it, and may the flames pass over the best of me Come on let the ash pile up and tomorrow begin Come on make me feel it Come on make me feel it

Here comes the day Spread out like a shotgun Its lost its shine before it ever had one So pack your things I wanna show you how the asphalt sings when you let go We're on the move now I get that feeling that you don't wanna go at all Screaming at the the top your lungs and tearing maps off the wall So bear your teeth, but I know everything thats Underneath, come on and let go Baby you're the only truth I know All around us, change explodes Will we live to see what grows Fear and fortune ebbs and flows Get down, its gonna blow Here comes the night Quiet as a funeral Until we get tired testing wills So cool your jets And let me show you how a heart forgets when it lets go All around us, change explodes Will we live to see what grows Fear and fortune ebbs and flows Get down, its gonna blow I love watching you sleep it off Like you drank too much of us Don't you know that I'll still be there when The fuse is smoldering All around us, change explodes Will we live to see what grows Fear and fortune ebbs and flows Get down, its gonna blow

Oh Vail, Oh Vail won't you let them boys go? There's a mother crying somewhere up in San Antonio I know that star you wear leads those people to their king But it don't sound like angels when that Colt begins to sing Long ago he stopped asking the question, of why some people do the things they do Consequence had chosen him to satisfy its every whim, it was all a plan that much he knew Moses he went up on to that mountain, now Vail can send a man down with his draw It was only fair and just that all those made of ash and dust, heeded his commandments of the law Oh Vail, Oh Vail won't you let them boys go? There's a mother crying somewhere up in San Antonio I know that star you wear leads those people to their king But it don't sound like angels when that Colt begins to sing And Vail said "I got 6 in this revolver here, for anyone without the fear of waking up tomorrow full of lead" "And I got 4 more in my Tommy, gonna end up in you son, you don't come out with your hands above your head" Oh Vail, Oh Vail won't you let them boys go? There's a mother crying somewhere up in San Antonio I know that star you wear leads those people to their king But it don't sound like angels when that Colt begins to sing As soon as Vail had called it out, the answer from inside the house found its way inside him, burning hot And so onto his knees he fell, the jagged blade of God himself, left out in that Pettus dirt to rot This is the gift you've been given, this is the work you've received This is the truth you must know in yourself Rise or submit, its your choice, came a voice Covered head to foot in red and silver, he came up behind the older of the two Nothing ever looked quite like, the way his eyes gave up their light, when he saw a dead man in the room And he screamed "God ain't changed his ways since Noah built that boat, its just that now he uses bullets 'stead of floods" Oh Vail, Oh Vail you can't let them boys go There's a mother crying softly up in San Antonio I know that star you wear lead those people to their king But it don't sound like like angels when that Colt begins to sing

Why do I feel, next to you Like you're the only one I'd ever hold on to When all I do, is fill the space Of a handsome man to come and take my place Let me be, The one you need Oh my love, I'd pull you from the deep It's what wakes me up And what gets me to sleep And I rest easy in your bed 'Cause lying down there ain't no place to hang my head Baby be try, one more time Let me be, the one you need And if you learn to trust again There will always be someone to take you in And by your choice, love I'll abide And until then, I will never leave your side Baby try, just one more time Let me be, the one you need
