Can't remember when the test began
I sign my name
"I'm not an animal"
Take care of the ones you love
that's all
that's all
weak people wear you down
some situations can't be
worked out
and it's a long
way down
when you're always
looking up
no one likes the way this ends
searching for God in the face of death
and there's no one around
empty flower vase
dirty water
I'm not going out like that
I'm not going out like that
We're so much better now
we're so much better
better now
Thank you for loving me
you showed me how to live
you say you like this
I think you're lying
it's been one hell of a ride
don't you get off now
dolphins cry
just like you
I'm not the animalI'm the animal
I'm not the animalI'm the animal
we've got so much to lose
trembling knees stand to prove
We're so much better
better now
I love you so much
better now

you sing the gospel to me
but you're sleeping in the streets
fluorescent God light bulbs
weighin' heavy on your soul
take my hand through Hell
Sister Mercy where'd you go
got the acid on my tongue
did you ever know your name
the devil catches up
in between your heavenly dreams
as you circle the drain
so far from the ocean
Singing through your Hell
Sister Mercy we need you now
dragging through these dreams
I'm so proud of your name
true friend
in a fair weather world
true friend
in a fair weather world
so pretty so long
as it fades away
true friend in
a fair weather world
true
friend
in a
fair weather world
so pretty
so long
as it fades away
I feel it in your soul
feel it in your soul
way down below
way down below
my fair friend
my fair friend
my friend

all of my friends
I do believe in them
all of my friends
I'll soon be needing them
I stand in awe of her
desultory glory
it breaks my heart to see you
down
dancin' dizzy with my girl
sad sweet and laughin' by myself
dancin' dizzy with my girl
sad sweet and laughin' by myself
never all the time
never all the time
it's a silly ball of nothingness bouncing back and forth through
it's all a silly ball of nothingness bouncing back and forth through
try so hard to make it matter knowing
all along that nothing matters
try so hard deign to matter
you only matter
if you matter to someone else
dancin' dizzy with my girl
sad sweet and laughin' by myself
dancin' dizzy with my girl
sad sweet and laughin' by myself
never all the time
never all the time

High Pony Brooklyn, New York
Never in style but never played out either. Honesty, rawness, sincerity and real instruments are always pretty cool.
