The Good News

歌詞

Spent my commission on another diversion And I don't got no meaning, no purpose left at all My pastor tells me that my, my light is a dimming And I've been too long drifting in an ocean "It's ok, you just need faith" Been looking for answers in the wrong place But how do I tell him that there's something missing And I don't got no substance since you've gone? Everyday I walk down to the water and I pray Since you left me that way Oh lord I'm trying to keep my mind On the good news That's in my heart For the good good news, For the good good news Since my baby left my light refuses to shine Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise Now I can make the eyes at anyone that I desire Throwing down with all the lost boys At the very edge of town Now I can spin a lie that binds me Up all through the night Cause I've got No one home to answers to this time Everyday is a repeat, Like a carrier bag Stuck in a tree I used to find my answers In the gospels of St. John But now I find them At the bottom of this shot glass Everyday I go down to the water and I pray Since you left me that way Oh lord I'm trying to keep My sights on the good news That's in my heart For the good good news For the good good news (Don't got no meaning and I don't go no purpose) For the good news (Can't find comfort and I can't find no solace) Since my baby left my light refuses to shine Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise
