The song wants to repeat just now,
It sings itself to show you how,
It throws away its finest line
Just to keep the feel and time.
Just to keep
The feel and time,
It throws away now
Its finest line

The word wants just to leave my tongue,
To turn your face, and when that's done
I've got no use for what it proves,
It only means the way you move.
It only means
The way you move,
I've got no use now
For what it proves

Close your eyes and shut my mouth,
The day has worn its welcome out.
It pats you down and cuffs your hands
And makes its bed right where you stand…

The prayer wants to believe in you
And does in spite of all you do,
It sings itself just like a song
When hope is weak and pride is strong.
When hope is weak
And pride is strong,
It sings itself now
Just like a song
The thought wants nothing more than show
How little now you really know.
It burns then it turns cold and mean
Taking any offer sight unseen...

The song wants to repeat just now,
It sings itself to show you how,
It throws away its finest line
Just to keep the feel and time.
Just to keep
The feel and time,
It throws away its finest line
It throws away its finest line
Just to keep the feel and time.
