Everyday Amen

Honey take me dancing Man I've heard that line before It's from another song, I'm going to steal it Like I've done before I'm going to forget every time we slipped And danced across the floor I'm going to forget every missing stitch And every time some matador got mauled I'm going to wake to light invisible And wake to light again It's like a line you say a second time And call it religion Because the second time you say it Well it means more than it did And then everyone that thinks they're one Just hides behind some everyday amen, AMEN Except the madmen, the madmen The insane and those women Who see between the syllables And howl into the wild wind Who swim among the black fins And know that it's not if but when Who laugh into the silence Who laugh into the silence and then It's like lighting a cigarette with lightning It's like standing a fortress you know you can't defend It's like holding a line that you can't bend It's like being alive again It's like being alive again Everyone that wins Says 'Take your vitamins and win You've got to live longer them You've got to radiate your grin You've got to replicate and then You've got to replicate again again' Til everyone that thinks they've won Just echoes with that very same amen, AMEN Except the losers, the losers Those fuck-ups who like muses Accent every accident And light us up like fuses Who utter every u-utterance So beautifully useless The ones who stand accused of Being just like me and you my friend And it's like lighting a cigarette with lightning It's like standing a fortress you know you can't defend It's like holding a line that you can't bend It's like being alive again It's like holding candles in the wind Shit I'm stealing lines from other songs again It's like playing a game that you can't win It's like being alive again It's like being alive again, AMEN Except the madmen, the madmen The insane and those women Who see between the syllables And howl into the wild wind Who swim among the black fins And know that it's not if but when Who laugh into the silence Who laugh into the silence and then AMEN!
