Psalms 40:2 |
| Pulled off the highway in Missouri and lo, our hearts were heavy laden |
| Made for the chapel with some spray paint for all the things we’d held in secret |
| Lord, lift up these lifeless bones |
| Light cascading through the windows, all the rainbow’s heavy tones |
| He has fixed his sign in the sky |
| He has raised me from the pit and set me high |
| Left that place in ruin, drunk on the spirit and high on fumes |
| Checked into a Red Roof Inn, stayed up for several hours and then slept like |
| infants |
| In the burning fuselage of my days |
| Let my mouth be ever fresh with praise |
| He has fixed his sign in the sky |
| He has raised me from the pit and set me high |
| Each morning new |
| Each day shot through |
| With all the sharp, small shards of shrapnel |
| That seem to burst out of me and you |
| Head down for Kansas, we will get there when we get there, don’t you worry |
| Feel bad about the things we do along the way, but not really that bad |
| We inhaled the frozen air |
| Lord, send me a mechanic if I’m not beyond repair |
| He has fixed his sign in the sky |
| He has raised me from the pit and he will set me high |
