| Lady of the ark I think I found a part
|
| I think I found a piece of what you used to be
|
| Dozing in the back of a funeral car
|
| And tangled in the blankets of your memories
|
| Oh why, why did I waste you
|
| If I’d have felt that love come the fall
|
| I couldn’t save you
|
| Plunging to the earth the sweetest cannonball
|
| Oh why, why did I know you
|
| How did I know you would go in the end
|
| The light of the sky you told me
|
| «Baby I’ll be gone but when I’m back again we’ll try»
|
| Try
|
| Try
|
| Try
|
| Lady of the ark I think you were the start
|
| I think you were the key with which his heart was closed
|
| Not his only secret, not his only weakness
|
| I found him at the party feeling through her clothes
|
| And he cried, cried, «I'm wasted»
|
| And he could look you straight in the mouth
|
| But all that time he’d take it
|
| Even though he didn’t watch the words come out
|
| Oh why, why did you leave me
|
| Why did you think it would rip me apart
|
| When we were always bleeding
|
| In with spirit when the soul departs the mind
|
| Mind
|
| Mind
|
| Mind
|
| And I can see your face now
|
| Tripping sick with your ear to the wall
|
| You can find the way down my lady
|
| My lady
|
| Til' you fall
|
| So fall
|
| Fall
|
| Well strange part of the woman
|
| She can’t see it coming
|
| Bats her eyes at everybody one by one
|
| And though she’s moving faster still he’s blowing past her
|
| Naked with his eye toward the morning sun
|
| But you’re wild
|
| Wild I’ve seen it
|
| And he left you sick when you loved him the most
|
| So now you’re done, defeated
|
| Torn between the devil and the holy ghost
|
| Swing low, low sweet heathen
|
| Swing for the wretch and the rock and roll kid
|
| Roam this earth repeat it
|
| All this sin until this wicked world makes sense
|
| In time
|
| Time
|
| Time
|
| Time |
