Swear To God

I taste you, I feel you, your electric your static
Night dreaming out the window of the pharmacy attic
Your man on the stoop reared on bread and soup
He's been there all day smiling at the rain
I stood down there myself till I was soaked to the bone
And grew me a smile just like his one.

I sense you I hear you, through this tuneful white noise
Your freedom your bravery, your lust for living
The pauper and the prince had bagged all the turf
Said the pauper to the prince, "I'm dying with the thirst"
"Sham I've got a local and all you can sink"
Said the barman to the pauper "you're not welcome to drink".

Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god
Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god
Swear on this battered old bible
Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god
Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god
Swear on the graves of my dreams

I've lied before, definitely less but never more

I watch as you stumble to the oul video store
Left your communion money on the back of a horse
You're torn by the feeling of judgement and sin
On to whether or not you should christen the kids
To get them a seat in the school on the hill
Ah there's no guarantee they'll be getting in
Me I've no time for this war of the wings
I've love to give friends to see, songs to write and to sing
I know that a bird never flew on one wing
But I'm gonna soar man high above them trees
I've my moral compass guiding me

Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god
Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god
Swear on this battered old bible
Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god
Swear to god, swear to god, swear to god
Swear on the graves of my dreams

Watched all of your dreams float down the stream
Come let it out with me and scream
Watched all of your dreams float down the stream
Come let it out with me and scream
Watched all of your dreams float down the stream
Come let it out with me and scream
Watched all of your dreams float down the stream
Come let it out with me and scream

All of your dreams
All of your dreams
All of your dreams
All of your dreams
All of your dreams
All of your dreams
