St. Francis fumbled in the dark Up the stairs and down the hall And in his midst the crows moved slow Whizzing by like thunderbolts And I cried go. With flint in teeth and fire and hand He fought a fleet of angry men Who boast of birds they stole from St. Francis tamed those witless thieves And I cried go. St. Francis learned th wolves lived in Towns with wives and with children His eyes grew blind from this awful truth The real wolves wore pants and shoes The crows know that your wavering The crows know that your waiting To escape. St. Francis says says says GO.

Shiny like a limousine You're spending like a cash machine Smile, show your golden teeth That's how you cover up your cavities You're glowing like a diamond ring I saw you bought some other things You're spending like a cash machine To cover up your insecurities Don't front, no need When is it enough? How bad do you need that stuff? What's it all for? Why's it seem like you still want more? When is it enough? Turns out you don't need that stuff (You're glowing like a-) (What's it all for?) Shiny like a cash machine Deep down, I'm trying to cover up this tragedy I thought that getting the bag was all I need But then it finally caught up to me I'm not as happy as I seem I just hit the lotto Was over the moon like Apollo 11 No kidding, but it's a tough pill to swallow When you realize Everything you ever wanted is hollow I don't care too much for money, it won't buy me love The beautiful is ugly when you come down from the drugs And you ask When is it enough? How bad do you need that stuff? What's it all for? Why's it seem like you still want more? When is it enough? Turns out you don't need that stuff (You're glowing like a-) (What's it all for?) Shiny like a limousine You're spending like a cash machine Smile, show your golden teeth That's how you cover up your cavities You're not fooling us all

Just like St. Francis The little birds come Lonely for a little warm You give them your music But they just want a song Oh, no, I'll never learn But I'd make beautiful sounds I'd lay you down like a lover would My pride, still standin' straight But looking back I wasn't so brave I wasn't so brave Flying through tunnels At the mouth of New York Sometimes, I belong here But it's funny how leaving Turns the emptiness up The hole you never heard before Oh, I laugh in my hands A kiss from that man Like a melody My pride still standing Looking tall But looking back I wasn't brave at all I wasn't brave at all Was I? I'd make beatiful sounds I'd lay you down like a lover would On the phone, I started to say But then I stopped I used to be brave I used to be brave Here's hoping next time, we'll get it right ' S.
