We'd all come together on account of a series of misfortunates
There was a baptist and a rabbi
We had a marxist and an orphan
And we got trashed
It took 40 days and nights to pass
So we set out to uncover
Some sort of cosmic explanation
For the pain of our existence
And mortal limitations
Some kind of map
That's gonna lead us to salvation at last
She's dancing under bright lights
I'm worried about her insides
Night starts to fade into the morning
We take some pills and talk it over
Ya know, I'm saving up for a fresh start
And a new heart, and an American girl
I
Want to see the sun rise
Some folks go walking on the water
We just sink down and get washed over
There's never been a worse time
To climb out from under your rock
I'm sorry baby if I spoiled the party
You know how I can come undone
And the scars on my face
Tell my tale of disgrace
We both know I'm no good on my own
Because I'm not much
Of a man
But by now
I'm due for a win
Yeah you know
What they say
Even a broken clock's right twice a day
Well I know what you think and
I don't give a damn
I've learned a few tricks of my own
Yeah you came all this way
What the hell'd you expect?
Well it all worked out in the end
