That

How do you do what I don't expect you to do to me?
The lamb of God lies slaughtered and you drink the blood of
Him and Her and me
How do you break?
Break so many promises you just can't seem to keep?
Our only guarantee's our faith
How long will it take before you make that leap?

Knock me out - on the ground
You want me smilin' when I come 'round
On the edge - near's the end
And then you still want me to be your friend

After all, after all, after all, after all
That

She's got that slim back
That gentle line flowing down to her crack
Hypnotize me, tantalize me, I hypothesize me plan of attack
Look out for decoys - evil twins - artificial lovers
So many ways to get burned
The fires of hell burn bright, cheap fuel, touch lips
You'd think I had learned

Knock me down - on my back
"Hey there Jill", says Lonesome Jack
Monks and lovers own the ends
Curves in the middle, I scream 'round the bends

After all, after all, after all, after all
That

In time, it all gets twisted in vines and old wines
Wounds of my restlessness, my consciousness
My heart and soul laying there in these lines
Soft laughs and sly sighs get you through the nights
You're not in on the joke
Draw those straws, pick those strawberries
Savor what you can
Don't choke - blow a smoke - in your yoke

Knock me up - make me king
Give me hope - and let me sing
The beauty in your eyes so deep
And I have dreams I'm gonna keep
So plans you make - and devils laugh
What's the point? And where's the path?
And no one's gonna tell you when
You'll be back again

After all
After all
After all
After all
After all
After all
After all
After all
That
That
That
That
That
