Minor chords and major arcana
Little leather jacket and a black bandana
Kickin' over trash cans and telling jokes in Atlanta
When I got the fever, it hit me like a fan on the back of my head
I don't know who I am, but I'm free for nothing, good for nothing, too
Crazy dreams, still crazy 'bout you
Won't you let me in one more time, babe, I want to feel it, too
Well nothing is a lie, babe if you know it ain't true
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
Reparations now coming my way
Dues that I've recollected that I never paid
In the stained-glass windows, babe, I feel the presence, oh yeah
But that don't mean I'm done with repentance so, oh no
Gonna find another way to climb out of this basement
Gonna find out what that smile on your face meant
Like a thief that you borrowed, baby, take hold of me, take flight
And I wanna do your bidding, babe, I wanna steal away in the night
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
Heart's on fire, so is the page
Everybody 'round here's telling me to act my age, I'm trying
Things are only revealed in the light that is given
Oh, to be freed from the body when all else is forgiven
Rain outside is blowing in the curtains
Nothing is revealed, but nothing is for certain
As I recall, you was drinking from the sanctuary wine
Well, don't worry, baby, we'll find all of our lost time
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
As I recall, you were standing there, you was holding your rosary beads, ooh, ooh
Everyone around you seems to think he knows what he needs, ooh, ooh
Seven ugly reasons kept me away from you then, ooh, ooh
Nothing is much weaker than the resolve of most men
I remember when we was alone in your room
Staring out your window, we knew you'd be going soon
And I was so young, babe, I hope that you knew that I meant well
And when I looked in your eyes, I thought I knew you could tell
Now I'm blowing back from the cemetery gates
You whom I loved dearly, now I must wait
To be reunited in the sky when it opens
Well, my feet are so tired, baby, but my spirit ain't broken
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
