Cracker

Wild haired man throws shoulder to hypocrisy
No need to ask him where his allegiances lie
Don’t get too close, he’s bought a river that’s run dry

In walks a girl and she’s talkin’ about a miracle
Says she saw the light and she thinks you should too
She’s got her life straight…guess who’s askin’ about you?

And through your welling eyes
Can you make it out?
High against the moon
It’s a lover’s heart shattered against a canvas sleeve.

Too many days have passed
Since you finally said, “I do”
Don’t let your mind lose track if it hasn’t yet
Etch my words in time

In comes a girl and she’s talking revelation now
The light she saw was a reflection of hope
She claims she’s sorry that you fell too fast into her hold
She pulled you down and left you home

And so it goes to prove
Words could mean so much as to bring you in
Believing all the world’s stories as they are told
So if you’d asked me
Well I really can’t say I do
For there’s a faith in my world today
Breathing its mist on my pane
And it’s waiting there to enter my veins
Where he calls home
