Don't touch my vein with your new needle Don't be afraid of the pine beetle Just rest assured that there will be another day too And maybe here and maybe not And I'm not sure of all we've got A season ticket to the war for the human heart So let us gather by the light Some people have, some people might I hold you in my mind tonight to great distraction And tender is my sleepy bed Night club me in my sleepy head And eating dinner with your friends By their cabin on the lake And has it really been this long since we were free I will now hold my head up high And I will walk into the light Erasing every trace in sight of every memory So what's your problem, what's your beef? I've got this gap between my teeth And but for this I might have been a different man And by your watch some time will pass And buy your wine from glass to glass And I have seen the coming of our precious Lord We all unfold our pages from right to left Some day I'll get a used guitar And on its strings I'll try to play This lonesome tune to you We all have sinned, we all have saved And much of this our true heart gave We all have given to our grave our own excesses So watch me blow in two somehow Part Clair de Lune, part sacred cow I am ready for my close up with the Lord
