I'll be with you in spirit
But not in heart
Until the heavens tear open
And the gifted depart
But nothing I do will ever
Be good enough
Running in circles
Fix the machine
Drooling love ????
Because nothing I do will ever
Be good enough for you
In the centre of focus
The butt of the jokes
All my foundations
Have gone up in smoke
And nothing I do will ever
Be good enough for you
I'll be with you in spirit
But not in heart
Until the heavens tear open
And the gifted depart
But nothing I do will ever
Be good enough
For you
For me
No exceptions

Waiting In The Wings

They call it the wings but I've never been closer to the ground
I used to write songs for you but now I just write them down
I used to wait in the wings but I don' think that I can
You want me to be part of it but I'm not your biggest fan
Can you see me on the edge?
I can't see you from the edge
Yes, out of the corner of my eye
Yes, you're in the line of fire
But I have been waiting in the wings
I have been waiting in the wings
I have been anxious and insane
I am just waiting in the wings
You're being ignited by the brightness of the sun
Confusing guidance with what can burn you up
While I waited patiently from the confines of the wings
Your newest fixation kindly tore you limb from limb
Yes, yes, yes, out of the corner of my eye
Yes, yes, yes, you're the thorn in my side
But I have been waiting in the wings
I have been waiting in the wings
I have been anxious and insane
I am just waiting in the wings

The resting place is written in
The bitter English of the soul
The rain the saving attribute
The water is a powerful gold
Blinking fast and hard and shaking
Thinner than the oxygen’s hold
The stinging of the ringing taste
Of the purest bottle of wine I've ever known
I'm the one you placed your bets on
You're the one who slaughtered a deer
In the Phoenix Park
Raining cats and dogs until their
Innards wreak havoc on the streets
I pour myself into another glass
Another story no one reads
I know that I could never write
A line that'd make you cry
I'm not that sweet
Or write the perfect song in 5/4 time
I stare directly at my feet
I'm the one who tears the house down
You're the one who breaks the ice
Stabbing in the dark
I'm the one who tears the roof off
You're the one who breaks the mould

It's a long night, such a long night
Catching flies, telling lies
Hold tight, what a safe ride!
Lock the door, make it right
At a brisk pace I go walking through the fog
He's on his porch, say hello
Sleep tight, soft night
Wave those hands, make it right
Make it right

Where has it all gone to?
It's been so long
I waited all September
But I know it's wrong
But I know it's wrong
I saw your broken body
Your face has changed
You’re not as beautiful as you were before
I stayed the same
I stayed the same
I stayed the same
You're missing all the missing links
You never can take the time to think
You watched me as I begged and crawled
With a pinch of salt
Glory Mary you Holy Roller
Come on back and appease my soul
You watched me as I begged and coughed
With a pinch of salt
