Everyday Amen
Honey take me dancing
Man I've heard that line before
It's from another song, I'm going to steal it
Like I've done before
I'm going to forget every time we slipped
And danced across the floor
I'm going to forget every missing stitch
And every time some matador got mauled
I'm going to wake to light invisible
And wake to light again
It's like a line you say a second time
And call it religion
Because the second time you say it
Well it means more than it did
And then everyone that thinks they're one
Just hides behind some everyday amen, AMEN
Except the madmen, the madmen
The insane and those women
Who see between the syllables
And howl into the wild wind
Who swim among the black fins
And know that it's not if but when
Who laugh into the silence
Who laugh into the silence and then
It's like lighting a cigarette with lightning
It's like standing a fortress you know you can't defend
It's like holding a line that you can't bend
It's like being alive again
It's like being alive again
Everyone that wins
Says 'Take your vitamins and win
You've got to live longer them
You've got to radiate your grin
You've got to replicate and then
You've got to replicate again again'
Til everyone that thinks they've won
Just echoes with that very same amen, AMEN
Except the losers, the losers
Those fuck-ups who like muses
Accent every accident
And light us up like fuses
Who utter every u-utterance
So beautifully useless
The ones who stand accused of
Being just like me and you my friend
And it's like lighting a cigarette with lightning
It's like standing a fortress you know you can't defend
It's like holding a line that you can't bend
It's like being alive again
It's like holding candles in the wind
Shit I'm stealing lines from other songs again
It's like playing a game that you can't win
It's like being alive again
It's like being alive again, AMEN
Except the madmen, the madmen
The insane and those women
Who see between the syllables
And howl into the wild wind
Who swim among the black fins
And know that it's not if but when
Who laugh into the silence
Who laugh into the silence and then AMEN!
