I saw a light
A city was burning down
The wolves chase the children
They howl just to wake you up
I heard a sound
A whisper of water
That tired old river
Swear she's gonna get back home
I met a girl
She's crying in the streets
She said the buildings are tipping
Boy, we need to hold them up
While all the skeletons in the street
Are selling their meat
Just to make that dime
I hear villains from the bed
They killed an angel on the golf course
Before her time
So I took a step
Towards all my emptiness
As my drunk feet hit the pavement
In 4/4 time
There I met a man
Tired and hollow
He said "someday you're gonna get yours and I'll get mine"
So I drew a breath
A shallow yet selfish breath
Because I haven't seen death
Since the day Josh Roberts died
While all the skeletons in the street
Are selling their meat
Just to make that dime
I hear villains from the bed
They killed an angel on the golf course
Before her time
Now I'm in a crowd
All the people are singing out loud
They're screaming
"You call this gospel- we call it song"
They're screaming
"You call this gospel- we call it song"
They're screaming
"You call this gospel- we call it song"
