The Sweetness of Mortality
I swear I'll never sing the truth again
A fool the one who tries
Freedom is a joke and murder is a sin
But the truth is a hangman in disguise
I've travelled far from here to there
I've seen many a girl
But there's one who's gone so long and is still beyond compare
I wonder where she is in this world
I never signed up for this game
I won't run for white or black
If I win or lose to me it's all the same
But, damn, I want my honey back
I'm no scientist don't count on me
My calculations are all wrong
I only put words to the things that I see
And sometimes they wind up in a song
I'm no prophet if you thought I was
I can't tell the future, no!
If you meet someone who's reading you the stars
I can tell you right now he's putting on a show
When I get to the Pearly Gates
And I'm allowed one plea
I wouldn't miss the beers and I wouldn't miss the steaks
But the sweetness of mortality
A fool the one who tries
Freedom is a joke and murder is a sin
But the truth is a hangman in disguise
I've travelled far from here to there
I've seen many a girl
But there's one who's gone so long and is still beyond compare
I wonder where she is in this world
I never signed up for this game
I won't run for white or black
If I win or lose to me it's all the same
But, damn, I want my honey back
I'm no scientist don't count on me
My calculations are all wrong
I only put words to the things that I see
And sometimes they wind up in a song
I'm no prophet if you thought I was
I can't tell the future, no!
If you meet someone who's reading you the stars
I can tell you right now he's putting on a show
When I get to the Pearly Gates
And I'm allowed one plea
I wouldn't miss the beers and I wouldn't miss the steaks
But the sweetness of mortality
