Rabbit Will Run (Live)
Last I saw mother, she rose from her chair When they caught me I'd just finished combing my hair Cause a rabbit will run, and the colt hasn't long with the mare
We've all learned the earth while we've carried the throne We dove under the rivers and under our clothes And I still have a prayer, as sure as my settling bones
Last I saw mother, she covered my ears When they caught me I offered the captain a beer Cause a rabbit will run, and the lion has nothing to fear
We bricked up the garden and know what it means And we've all kissed a virgin as if she were clean And I still have a prayer, despite all the colors I've seen
And judgment is just like a cup that we share I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there We'll pass the weeds in our vision of things to come
We've all heard the rooster and all been denied And we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyes And I still have a prayer, a well-weathered word to the wise
Last I saw mother, she smelled like a rose When they caught me, the captain, he opened my nose Cause a rabbit will run, and the wind takes a bird where it blows
We've all traded lovers and woke up alone Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And we clapped for the king though our fingers were cold And I still have a prayer, 'cause I love what I cannot control
Last I saw mother, she acted surprised When they caught me, the captain, he cried like a child Cause a rabbit will run, good dogs together go wild
We've all lived in grace at the end of the day And we've armed all the children we thought we betrayed And I still have a prayer, but too few occasions to pray
Judgment is just like a cup that we share I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there We'll pass the weeds in our vision of things to come
And we've all found a reason for hiding a gun And we've helped out a few if we've hurt anyone And I still have a prayer, and so be it, I've done what I've done
Last I saw mother, she blew me a kiss When they caught me, the cuffs cut the blood from my wrist Cause a rabbit will run and a pig has to lay in its piss
We've all given half to the hand in our face We've all taken a stone from the holiest place And I still have a prayer, and I've furthered the world in my way
