Goes w/o Saying

You could meet me for coffee at sundown
When all of the workers come home
You could whisper it softly and somehow
It's like I had already known

These pages are cages for phrases, my wages
Get paid with on dark empty stages
And hey, just a sage bit of aged religious advice
As per Christ, bro, you only love twice

Hey, boys, I'm walking on water
Somebody's daughter made me feel rotten
I forgot her name
And the bells of the father rang over the water
Oh, God, I want her, it goes without saying

Skip your feet while we're walking down Ludlow
Up the fire escape to your room
You could picture me talking to some girl
At so-and-so's house that we knew

These pages are cages for phrases my wages
Get paid with on dark empty stages
And Jesus will page us when he's free to save us
Until then, he gave us this book of old fables

Hey, boys, I'm walking on water
Somebody's daughter made me feel rotten
I forgot her name
And the bells of the father rang over the water
Oh, God, and I want her it goes without saying
