Patience As a Virtue - NueBoo & Felty

I dream of you Moment I can feel you there I can hold you But sometimes there's a shift in the motion I can't keep you near, just stand in motion Can I count on you? Can I count on you? You're my only virtue Inner demons That I can't seem to push aside I can't stop it And that's why I need you here I am no good but you steer me clear of my bad oceans Can I count on you To be there with me now? I can't bear the thought Of losing you somehow Please hold down the phone Since I am not around Can I count on you To be there with me? You're my only virtue Now I may not deserve you But I can not do without you Didn't know what I had lost You are my elevation You're the closest thing to heaven If you hadn't caught me Then where am I meant to fall? Moments I can feel you Hold you in my arms Feels as forgetting from Can I count on you To be there with me now? I can't bear the thought Of losing you somehow Please hold down the phone Since I am not around Can I count on you To be there with me? You're my only virtue Can I count on you? Can I, can I, can I count on you? You're my only virtue Count on you, count on you

Talking of my attributes, the things I do so well As anyone who's in cahoots with me will readily tell I've lived up here, I've been down there, I've bought so I could sell And if I drove a faster car, I'd drive it bloody well How can I change? I live without restraint And I would try the patience of a saint Thinking of my attitudes, talking one on one I may disagree with you, but look where you've come from And all that you've got, I thought that I would faint But I would try the patience of a saint And I would try the patience of a saint I would try the patience of a saint I'm talking to myself (to myself) I'm talking to the one that I know best Bury me with gratitude, you can go to hell Why should I care? I'd rather watch drying paint But I would try the patience of a saint And I would try the patience of a saint I would try the patience of a saint And I would try the patience... ...of a saint

Temptation hides In the space between Lord, help me fight this desire for fire Words can cleanse and purify Or tear down a pack of lies In your presence, consequence I can't stop trembling For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? For all my good fortune I would change my place with you This path will lead us back Will lead us back to ruin For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? This path will lead us back Will lead us back to ruin For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? Once in a while The urge resurfaces So we split hairs as rumours circulate And there's a need to fertilise Behind my lover's trusting eye Like water drops on burning warts I can't stop trembling For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? For all my good fortune I would change my place with you This path will lead us back Will lead us back to ruin For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? I've fallen I've fallen again I've fallen I've fallen again I've fallen I've fallen again I've fallen

Virtue is relative at best There's nothing worse than a sunset When you're driving due west And i'm afraid that my love Is gonna come up short There is no there there And i guess i'm scared 'Cause i want to have good news to report Every time i come up for air Now i'm cruising through a chromakey blue sky But i know that in an hour or three The sun is gonna be in my eyes And i know that sometimes all i can see Is how i feel Like the whole world is on the other side Of a dirty windshield And i'm trying to see through the glare Yeah i'm struggling just to see what is there The one person who really knows me best Says i'm like a cat Yeah the kind of cat that you just can't pick up And throw into your lap No the kind who doesn't mind being held Only when its her idea Yeah the kind that feels what she decides to feel When she is good and ready to feel And now i am crawling through the backyard I am hiding under the car I have gotten out of everything I've gotten into so far I eat when i am hungry And i travel alone Just outside the glow of the house Is where i feel most at home But in the window you sometimes appear And your music is faint in my ear
