Kingdom Come

I was living off of money
From the United States
Eating cheap steaks
Dipping my feet in wine

And yeah I got your letter
But I didn't feel better
When you said that
Kingdom would come

But I didn't realize
That you'd been looking
In my eyes
Seeing what I have done

But you know
It was just another day
From Eden
Just another way of seeing
The world as it once was

And it's true what they say
We must get paid
But there's a man still hanging
From my tree
And a woman I know
In Mexico with arrows in her knees

Well to put it to you kindly
I don't need you to remind me
Of the lives I used to lead

Because the man in the mirror
Said "Baby, ain't it clear
That things ain't what they seem?"

So I went looking at the maps then
They read it's all happening
Everywhere all at once

But you know I was still
In my head then
Still in my bed then
For another couple of months

And it's true what they say
We must get laid
But there's a man building fires
On my street
And a woman I know
In Mukwonago
With stain glass for her teeth.

Well it was back in mid-July
And I was looking for to try
Anything that'd help me out

But you still took it out on me
That you were seeking liberty
In the valleys of constant drought

And I knew it even then
That I in no way could pretend
I'd rid myself of doubt
But like the traffic in the street
Or some fantastic ecstasy
I knew not what about

And it's true what they say
We must refrain
But there's a man still breathing
In the creek
And a woman I know in San Antonio
Who lost a child to her belief

Well when I said you owed me money
I was simply being funny
Because honey you ain't got a thing

See I was just living for myself then
Just like everyone else when
I found out we killed kings

But I was still in that age
Where I was thinking I was a sage
But really twisting up my puppet strings

But you know, the strangest thing about that time
Is I baby I still thought you were mine
But no one here could sing

And it's true what they say
We must be brave
And there's a man in the silence of a scream
And a woman I know on an archipelago
Who dreams just what I dream
