The same old place you go Where fear's so simple Get on done what you're told Gonna clip your wings Well my head gone out of time My hear like belladonna swims some plasma undermine Gone and clipped my wings Say I'm the fool I wreck everything There's only one side of true Gone and clipped my wings Well Roddy said Jack you angry? I said I done what I done to play alive I always done beat me down gladly I gone and clipped my wings Well I can't see you smile But this is just seconds in your whole life You know it's been a while But I'm here I'm right here

Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cause we've got love Ohhhh Think of me when your world seems to fall apart Under the weight of a heavy heart It's so material, criminal What we put up on a pedestal Need a spark to start a fire Don't be afraid of a chance for a miracle Scare it away being cynical Step into open skies, close your eyes Jump into something you don't recognize Just reach your arms out wide Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cause we've got love Summer days will fade away and pass us by But we'll survive cause we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love And it's all we've got, we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love Ohhhh I'll be your voice when the whispers get too loud Your home base and the king that keeps you crowned Your breath when you're choking on your words Your sex your right turn When you're ready to start, lean on my heart baby Close your eyes just reach your arms out wide Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cause we've got love Summer days will fade away and pass us by But we'll survive cause we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love And it's all we've got, we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love Ohhhh Don't need a tomb with a view on the West Side Just wanna wake up at your side Cause when you know it, you know it In the blink of a moment It's like I'm, it's like I'm It's like I'm falling for the first time Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cause we've got love Summer days will fade away and pass us by But we'll survive cause we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love And it's all we've got, we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love Ohhhh

In a small corner bar he sits there a'drinkin' Lost as a ball in a field full of corn Further away than he ever imagined That he'd ever end up from the place he was born Now no more forlorn has a Creeker drank whiskey Than the one that you see out the side of your eye Drinkin' alone as he looks out the window At all of the strangers on the corner outside And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Now they knew not his name and he knew not their faces And he knew not the how nor the reason for why You could ever wake up and wanna keep on a'livin' In a place where a friend was such a hard thing to find And for e'ryone ya meet there's a whole mess of people Tryin' like hell to pull you on down To the level they're on and the trouble they're tendin' In the mess that they've made in the gutter they found And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Some fellas do drugs and things of that nature Some fellas chase girls to hang on their arm Some fellas get by on practically nothin' Some fellas get pissed in a small corner bar And they'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When they were all kids, Lord they'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down

Will you pray for me When the roots of the oak And my ribcage are braidin' If I can think Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you High on the hill where the fox horns blow And down in the grave where they lay me low Catholic girl, pray for me You're my only hope for Heaven When I's a boy I'd drink and love and smoke and snort my fill But all the while I kept in mind the Lord's redeeming grace High on the hill where the fox horns blow And down in the city where the heathens go Catholic girl, pray for me You're my only hope for Heaven Do you reckon He lets free will boys Mope around in purgatory? I know that Hell Is just as real as I am surely breathin' But I've heard tale Of a middle ground I think will work for me When the time has come for changin' worlds I'll hedge my bets with a Catholic girl Catholic girl, pray for me You're my only hope for Heaven
