lyrics

The Good Book

Sometime round midnight
I guess its sometime round midnight
As the crow files
As the ceiling fan goes round, and the
Insomnia comes down
Semis with the hammer down
Hit the bypass round the town
Reach the highway just outside and
Burn on by

Memories unshackled come and crawl around my mind
I need the Good Book
I need the Word to turn my gasoline to wine

I hold the key
Yeah, I hold the key to where I lie
I own the suitcase fulla snapshots by the door
I own the bottle by the bedside,
The bootheels on the floor
I read the future in the coal that hands forgotten in my fingers
And flares above my face for every scattered soul that hungers
In disconnected, never mattered places just like this
I own the wind outside,
Bashing, bashing on the motel sign
I need the Good Book
I need the Word to turn my gasoline to wine

And I could love just about anything
That paid me back in kind
I need the Good Book
I need the Word to turn my gasoline to wine
