I and I (Infidels Alternate Take)
Been years since a strange woman has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams
In another lifetime, she must have owned the world or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlight streams
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, "No man sees my face and lives"
Think I'll go out and go for a walk
Not much happenin', I got someone to see
Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want me to talk
I got nothin' to say, 'specially about what could or could not be
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, "No man sees my face and lives"
I took an untrodden path once, where the swift didn't win the race
And it went to the worthy who could divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me to look into justice's face
And to see an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, "No man sees my face and lives"
Outside of two men on a train platform, there's nobody in sight
They're waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track
The world could come to an end tonight, but that's all right
She should still be there sleepin' when I get back
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, "No man sees my face and lives"
Well, if it's noontime, and I'm still pushin' myself
Along the road on the darkest part
Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put
Somebody else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart
I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, "No man sees my face and lives"
Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams
In another lifetime, she must have owned the world or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlight streams
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, "No man sees my face and lives"
Think I'll go out and go for a walk
Not much happenin', I got someone to see
Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want me to talk
I got nothin' to say, 'specially about what could or could not be
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, "No man sees my face and lives"
I took an untrodden path once, where the swift didn't win the race
And it went to the worthy who could divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me to look into justice's face
And to see an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, "No man sees my face and lives"
