One lifetime is long enough

Is long enough to wait

The rain like silver in my ears

Fat nothing on my plate

A bucketful of Babylon

A belly full of hate

And may your dreams be sweet

See its face beneath the glass

It murmurs on the breeze

Like a long black Cadillac

It passes 'neath the trees

What is it you're waiting for?

Sweet love is on its knees

And find your heart's release

Yeah we'll be running

Here I am

I ain't afraid of nothing

Here I am

The sun above the cotton grass

Is sinking down like lead

The seagulls know the truth of it

And scream it overhead

Hold on to St. Christopher

The sky is murderous red

Our glory lies ahead
