Closer to Fine - Live at Little Five Points Pub, Atlanta, GA - 1989

Would you please welcome home to the
Little Five Points Pub in Atlanta, Georgia
Indigo Girls

I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all, yeah

Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
And I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
I'm crawling on your shore

And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source (the less I seek)
For some definitive (my source)
Closer I am to fine, yeah
Closer I am to fine, yeah

And I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance
He said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source (and the less I seek)
For some definitive (my source)
Closer I am to fine, yeah
Closer I am to fine, yeah

I stop by the bar at 3 AM
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
And then I woke up with a headache
Like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
I went in seeking clarity

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I look to the children, I drank from the fountains
Yeah, we go to the doctor and we go to the mountains
And we look to the children and we drink from the fountains
Yeah, we go to the bible and we go through the workout
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout

There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source (the less I seek)
For some definitive (my source)
Closer I am to fine
Closer I am to fine
Closer I am to fine, yeah

Thanks y'all
Thanks
Woo!
Thank you
