The Distance [*]

Let him come into the city Let him find his lucky penny Let him put it in his pocket And shake it all around I've been to pretty buildings, all in search of you I have lit all the candles, sat in all the pews The desert had been done before, but I didn't even care I got sand in both my shoes and scorpions in my hair I saw that Oh the distance is not doable In these bodies of clay my brother Oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable Guess it's natural to feel this way Oh, let's hold out for something sweeter Spread your wings and fly My car became the church and I The worshiper of silence there In a moment peace came over me And the one who was beating my heart appeared and Oh the distance is not doable In these bodies of clay my brother Oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable Guess it's natural to feel this way Oh, are we locked into these bodies? Let's hold out for something sweeter Spread your wings and fly Oh, are we locked into these bodies? Are we anything at all? Let's hold out for something sweeter Spread your wings and fly This distance is dreaming We're already there tonight
