Last night
2
I took a walk into the back of my mind
3
Through the trash and the warning signs
4
There was a party full of jokes and clich's
5
I couldn't think of anything to say
6
And so I slipped into the men's room there
7
I saw my hair a way it's never been before
8
I took the stairs from my head to my heart
9
I didn't know they were so far apart
10
The heart is like a little chapel somewhere,
11
The pretty lights and the empty chairs
12
But I'm gonna bring a broom next time
13
I'll sweep out all the broken strings I find
14
She walks me down to my private train
15
And lays me down in my sleeping car
16
She keeps my elephant out of the rain
17
And sees to the care of my vintage cars
18
She is the blood of my life
19
Without her I would starve
20
Who you gonna run to?
21
Who you gonna hide behind?
22
Who you gonna turn to
23
When there's nobody home but you?
24
What's a father to do
25
With all theses school-less injuns
26
Running in circles around the wagons
27
What's a father to do
28
With all these monster debts
29
Around my neck
30
On a sad sun deck
31
Oh, my children, the times are jaded
32
The simple life is complicated
33
Oh, my children
34
Now if the dark of the night
35
Arrives in the middle of the day
36
I'm gonna say my prayer
37
For sweetness and light,
38
Gonna fix myself a Coke,
39
And hope it's alright
40
If the bat-winged beast sweep down
41
For a feast on me
42
I'm gonna pin my soul
43
To a hot-air balloon
44
Gonna make it pop
45
And shoot me to the moon
46
Now you've had another piece of my mind,
47
A cup of coffee and a slice of time
48
If you'll excuse me I should say goodbye
49
I gotta go now.
