Treaty |
| I’ve seen you change the water into wine |
| I’ve seen you change it back to water, too |
| I sit at your table every night |
| I try but I just don’t get high with you |
| I wish there was a treaty we could sign |
| I do not care who takes this bloody hill |
| I’m angry and I’m tired all the time |
| I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty |
| Between your love and mine |
| Ah, they’re dancing in the street—it's Jubilee |
| We sold ourselves for love but now we’re free |
| I’m so sorry for that ghost I made you be |
| Only one of us was real and that was me |
| I haven’t said a word since you been gone |
| That any liar couldn’t say as well |
| I just can’t believe the static coming on |
| You were my ground, my safe and sound |
| You were my aerial |
| Ah, the fields are crying out—it's Jubilee |
| We sold ourselves for love but now we’re free |
| I’m so sorry for that ghost I made you be |
| Only one of us was real and that was me |
| I heard the snake was baffled by his sin |
| He shed his scales to find the snake within |
| But born again is born without a skin |
| The poison enters into everything |
| And I wish there was a treaty we could sign |
| I do not care who takes this bloody hill |
| I’m angry and I’m tired all the time |
| I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty |
| Between your love and mine |
