Pig (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY 12.21.02)

Oh, isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day?
It's like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away?
I'm just thinking out loud

I don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But looking at our love
It's alive right now
And deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins

Oh intoxicate me moving wine to tears
And drinking it deeply
Oh an evening spent dancing
It's you and me, uh

Just love will open our eyes
Just love to put the hopes back in our minds
What's more that we could ever know our so
Don't throw your day, away
Don't throw the day, away

Oh, is this not enough?
This blessed sip of life
Is it not enough?
Staring down at the ground
And we complain and pray and need more and more from above
Like greedy little pigs

Stop and watch the world as you wear those wear
Oh, it's your problem now
'Cause you and me will be dead and gone in a few short years

Oh, just love will open our eyes
Only love will put the hope in our minds
Much more than we could ever know
Oh, so don't throw the day away, uncivilize day
Don't throw the day,, away

Oh, come sister, my brother
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
I'm saying, open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Wash out this tired notion
And know that the best is yet to come
But oh, while you're dancing on the ground
What you gon' like when you're gone

Love, love, love, what more is there?
'Cause we need all the sweet light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
Oh that's okay
You just get for love in it

And don't throw the day away
Don't throw the day away, oh so like here

Look, here are we
On this perfect night, thinking out in space
All that I must say
That I feel as small as dust lying down here

Oh, what point could there be troubling?
Head down wondering what will become of me?

Why concern when we cannot see it all
But, no reason to abandon this
All time is short time, that's all right
Maybe we all should go out in the middle of the night
Still take your hands from your eyes, my love
'Cause all good things must come to an end some time
Still don't throw the day away, uncivilize day
Don't throw the day away

Come sister, my brother
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come flooding in
Wash out this tired notion
And know that the best is yet to come
'Cause oh, while you're dancing on the ground
Why think of times when you're gone

Love, love, love, what more is there?
'Cause we need all the good light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
And that's okay
You just look for love in there

Yeah, you just look for love in here
You gon' love, only
Love away, eh
Just look for love in here, away oh
