Providence

Smoke vanilla cigarettes like a green jellyfish
You know that hips don't lie, but they're telling a fib
You look like a brain with a blue pair of lips
And that is how the story goes
You got so many degenerate stories to spat
Walking off of a dock, down the nose of the land
Get out of the sky, man, and into your head
And that is how the river flows

You think that you're better, such a go-getter
Well wake up and smell the head of a rose
You got to go get her, sweets and love letters
That is how the story goes

And it's providence, elementary
Yes it's common sense, some great prophecy
And it's all we get, someday they will see
Oh hitman, trying to make a fool of me

Stumble around with your eyes in your shirt
Pitch with your toe shoes down into the dirt
You talk like the first man on top of the earth
And that is how the people know

You got no sort of determinate message to read
Screaming around without an answer for me
Get out of your head, man, and into your feet
If you're ever gonna take it all

You think you've got minutes just to get in it
Well wake up kid, it's time to give up the show
You've got to be grounded, sweet and surrounded
That is how the story goes

And it's providence, elementary
Yes it's common sense, some great prophecy
And it's all we get, someday they will see
Oh hitman, trying to make a fool of me

Been the gleam in your eye, and the grit in your teeth
Heard a sinner's call and I've seen what they see
I've visited kingdoms and taken the kings
And I'm coming to take it all

You got all of it depending on the click of your thumb
The world is a sprint and there's nowhere to run
Get out of your feet man, and under the gun
If you're ever gonna stand up tall

You think you'll get over, when you get older
Well wake up kid, you've got stars in your eyes
It's gonna get colder, you should have told her
That is how the arrow flies

And it's providence, elementary
Yes it's common sense, some great prophecy
And it's all we get, someday they will see
Oh hitman, trying to make a fool of me
