go to work, go to bed
find a place to lay my head
church on Sunday wash away my sins
Monday morning do it all again
wash the dishes, mow the lawn
find a girl to call my own
church on Sunday wash away our sins
Monday morning do it all again
go to work, go to bed
pay the mouths and feed the debt
someone pulled the plug on Uncle Sam
Monday morning do it all again
plant a seed, plant a stone
water each, see which one grows
someone pulled a gun on I-310
Monday morning do it all again
go to work, go to bed
find a girl to hold my hand
spend our sunsets laying on the sand
Monday morning do it all again

some kisses are sweeter than a rose
but your tulips never close
in the cold
some redwoods choke out the weeds
but I'll sow my seeds by the tree
with roots
some memories more bitter than sweet
like pink cherry blossoms that fall at your feet
most nightmares never come true
but most nights I dream
of losing you
some scriptures are written on skin
but all seasons begin with amen
some memories more bitter than sweet
like pink cherry blossoms that fall at your feet

I have sown my dreams on land, sea and sky
but I reap nothing without you
put your precious feet on the passenger side
and we'll drive until we find a brighter view
all the leaves are falling
the harvest season calls us home
as Autumn takes her leisure
will death give way to pleasure?
will we be buried in the snow?
and I forgot to tell you
I don't need you to feel alone
and I don't have to follow
to feel lost on this endless road
I have shown my need and my fearful side
but I fear nothing like regret
put your hands in mine and we'll drive through the night
wake up where the seasons never set
the ocean breeze is calling
the redwood trees are taller than all
our fears far behind us
no one will ever find us
if we just forget to call
and I forgot to tell you
I don't need you to feel alone
and I don't have to follow
to feel lost on this endless road
I have sown my dreams on land, sea and sky
but I reap nothing but regret
put your hand in mine and we'll drive through the night
wake up where the seasons never set

there's flies in the kitchen
snakes in the weeds
I lie like a dog
but I sleep like a sheep shorn new
here next to you
you know I wanna sink
in your eyes so blue
I walk like a monkey
but I talk like a man
I ain't the best
but I'll do the best I can for you
the best that I can do
you know I wanna swim
in your eyes so blue
I'll sleep in on Sunday
and I'll work through the dawn
I'll trim all your bushes
and I'll cover your lawn with a new
red rose tattoo
and then I'll water it
with your eyes so blue
I swallowed the water
but I choked on the pill
I sent for the doctor
and he said "April can be cruel"
so I sent for you
you know I wanna drink
from your eyes so blue
I'll sing for my supper
and I'll steal for my beer
I'll build you an ark
you know it might take a year or two
but we could start a zoo
and then we'll drift away
on your eyes so blue

flames
burn away the dust
betray our hands
reveal our rust
painted on the face
of billboards and ballparks
cathedrals and banks
we consume
we pursue
we conceal
the proof
stand
stand with me, Lord
I ain't been humble
but I've been loud
praising your name
a pawn in your game
faith
no relation to trust
acts of kindness
none to love
a drunkard's wet dream
fifteen minutes is all we need
we contrive
publicize
we commute
the price
stand
stand with me, Lord
I ain't been humble
but I've been loud
praising your name
a pawn in your game
flames
burn away the dust
reveal our kindness
betray our trust
a drunkard's wet dream
fifteen minutes is all he needs
we connive
we prescribe
we collect
but can't provide
stand
stand with me, Lord
I ain't been humble
but I've been loud
praising your name
a pawn in your game
