Lyrics Mad Mission - Patty Griffin

Mad Mission

We were drinking like the irish
But we were drinking scotch
Bartender turned on a movie
Everybody turned to watch
And every single eye was gleaming
As he reached the final scene
Well, at least mine did
Heres lookin at you, kid
Its a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
Not everybody makes it To the loving cup
Its a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
Sign me up
I think Ive seen the look before, yes,
Its kind of non-commital
It says come hither, baby, but then hes hard wood to whittle
It says it dont mean a thing, but still, somebody does
Hed like you to join the club that likes to say
Theres no such thing as love and
Its a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
Not everybody makes it To the loving cup
Its a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
Sign me up Sometimes you find yourself
Flying low at night
Flying blind and looking for
Any sign of light
Youre cold and scared, and all alone
Youd do anything just to make it home
Its a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
Not everybody makes it To the loving cup
Its a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
Sign me up Sign me up
