Now won’t you lend your lungs to me? Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe up the time that’s passing
Breath I take and breath I give, pray the day ain’t poison
Stand among the ones that live in lonely indecision
My fingers walked the darkness down, mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you’ve found, you fool it’s only moonlight
If you try to take it home your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone try to find another
Salvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf, who’ll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at it’s mouth, take the water’s prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries, bathe in fiery answers
Jesus was an only son and love His only concept
Strangers cry in foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstep
And I for one and you for two ain’t got the time for outside
Just keep your injured looks to you, we’ll tell the world we tried
They got it so damn dirty no one wants to go in!"Jesus was an only sonAnd love his only conceptStrangers cry in foreign tonguesAnd dirty up the doorstep"

In lonely indecision"...fuck did he knew what it was to live in lonley indecision. Folk-country singer, road tripper, drug fulled alcoholic, angel and demon...full blown POET!
