Swear To God

I taste you, I feel you, your electric your static Night dreaming out the window of the pharmacy attic Your man on the stoop reared on bread and soup He's been there all day smiling at the rain I stood down there myself till I was soaked to the bone And grew me a smile just like his one. I sense you I hear you, through this tuneful white noise Your freedom your bravery, your lust for living The pauper and the prince had bagged all the turf Said the pauper to the prince, "I'm dying with the thirst" "Sham I've got a local and all you can sink" Said the barman to the pauper "you're not welcome to drink". Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god Swear on this battered old bible Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god Swear on the graves of my dreams I've lied before, definitely less but never more I watch as you stumble to the oul video store Left your communion money on the back of a horse You're torn by the feeling of judgement and sin On to whether or not you should christen the kids To get them a seat in the school on the hill Ah there's no guarantee they'll be getting in Me I've no time for this war of the wings I've love to give friends to see, songs to write and to sing I know that a bird never flew on one wing But I'm gonna soar man high above them trees I've my moral compass guiding me Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god Swear on this battered old bible Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god Swear on the graves of my dreams Watched all of your dreams float down the stream Come let it out with me and scream Watched all of your dreams float down the stream Come let it out with me and scream Watched all of your dreams float down the stream Come let it out with me and scream Watched all of your dreams float down the stream Come let it out with me and scream All of your dreams All of your dreams All of your dreams All of your dreams All of your dreams All of your dreams
