Don’t think I landed in the right place
Don’t think I have quite the right face
It was never automatic, I was never cinematic
living in the static, huntin’ for the hum,
As Light itself forgets its heat
Or how to get in, or how to get out
Committed to life outside parenthesis no doubt,
One word leads to another word
One dream leads to another dream
Yet with no color ‘round here of flesh
Still there’s animation in your dress
& all the shadows here
know of your moves my dear
& do all their collecting
Just to know of coalescing
So build me a fire & dig me a hole
Cause I deserve this, I deserve this
Yeah yeah
I’m mostly diggin’ it, I’m mostly diggin’ it
Except for the pain
Yeah I’m mostly diggin’ it, mostly diggin’ it
Except for the pain
Call it what ya will, give it any name …
Now I see now I see, there’s no greater tragedy
Than untold stories within me,
I’m tired of salt and sacraments
Tired of falsehoods & laments
I’m tired of just talkin’‘bout the weather,
& Mary’s always mad at me
& now I see and now I see
There’s no greater tragedy
Than keepin’ angels in my closet
I’m wading in the muck...
Call it what ya will, give it any name
Yeah I’m mostly diggin’ it, yeah I’m mostly diggin’ it
except for the pain, except for the pain, except for the pain
