Well now on a summer night,
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
In his mother's arms it was all
Like the missing words to some
prayer that I could never make
Oh, in a world so hard and dirty so
Searching for a little bit
I put 'em high upon a shelf
the faith that I'd lost in myself
I went down into the desert city
Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin
Lookin' to burn out every
You do some sad, sad things baby
When it's your you 're tryin' to lose
You do some sad and hurtful
Is that life is just a house of cards
As fragile as each and every breath
Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves, babe
Just a close band of happy thieves
And when that train comes
And steal what we can from the treasures,
It's been along long drought baby
Tonight the rain's pourin'
Oh, looking for a little bit of God's mercy
Yeah I found living proof
