I Must Be Saved |
| Lose your keys under the house |
| Lose the button from your blouse |
| Lose the plastic diamond ring from the parade |
| Lose the color in your lips |
| Lose the swingin' in your hips |
| But if you lose me in your grips |
| I must be saved |
| Lose the harmonies we learned |
| Lose the taste of bread you earned |
| Lose the stash you always kept but never craved |
| Lose your rhythm, lose your lines |
| Lose your sense of passing time |
| But if you lose me in your mind |
| I must be saved |
| And if you find your conscience plagued |
| By some misplaced or righteous rage |
| Then lose yourself instead |
| Till you remember to forget |
| Lose your passion and your hope |
| Lose the knotting in your rope |
| Lose your armor in the struggles that you brave |
| Lose the children that you bore |
| Lose the battle, lose the war |
| But if you lose me in your core |
| I must be saved |
| Lose your reverence for winners |
| Your patience with forgiveness |
| You don’t have to be a master or a slave |
| Lose your senses, lose your mind |
| Lose your faith in human kind |
| But if you lose me down the line |
| I must be saved |
| And if you find your conscience plagued |
| By some misplaced or righteous rage |
| Then lose yourself instead |
| Till you remember to forget |
| Lose perfection for a start |
| Lose the dream you kept apart |
| Lose the chance to find another who’d behave |
| And then if you haven’t yet |
| Lose your loser’s last regret |
| For if you lose me in your net |
| I must be saved |
| Lose the vows we never spoke |
| Lose the punch line to the joke |
| Lose your innocence as if willingly you gave |
| Lose the kettle and the pot |
| You can lose the best you’ve got |
| But if you lose me in your heart |
| I must be saved |
