lyrics

There's a holy heart and it lives inside the sun. It's a work of art and it's free for everyone. It'll tear your soul apart but the whole time you'll have fun. Never too late to start, take your footsteps one by one.

When they ask you to leave just act like you're naive. Walk away from the table with silverware up your sleeve. You're asking for adventure, well, ask and you'll receive, but the lies in your eyes look too true to be believed. So you're dressin up your words til they're looking like the truth. Sometimes you forget your floor is soembody else's roof. We're knockin on your jaw til your jaw comes loose. At least if you can't find food you can chew upon your tooth.

You could try and shoot it but you're afraid of needles. You can try to snort it but you're worried about your nostrils. Some people smoke it but the smoke will make you cough. You got some glass and broke it, so your supply is cut off. Grandma's in the grave and grandpa's on the couch. Moms on some guy's motorcycle and dad is still a grouch, so your friends are your new family with all their faults of course. You've never ever been married but you sure have been divorced.

With all the skill it takes to shovel that Skol inside your skull, you could take the new moon down and fill it puke until its full. The general's at the door saying get dressed and go to war. You say 'no thanks it not worth it sir, I've died a million times before.'

There's a holy heart and it feels for me and you. If life is like a lie then for certain Death is true. You might as well die if you got nothin' else to do. Just step into the sky to speak with you know who.
