Golden Street

Peo­ple keep say­ing that I’m a lit­tle short on mercy
Say my god for­saken soul will buy me things
Fame and for­tune pearly gates and sil­ver wings
Ya I picked out cur­tains for my place on golden street
Peo­ple been call­ing me sinner
Been call­ing me way­ward saint
Caught a snag along the path that they call straight
Looked down and I saw that I had lost my faith
Turned my back on promises id never break
These days I’m just try­ing to find out what love means
Find my place within this crazy scene
These days I’m just try­ing to find out what love means
Find my place within this dream
Peo­ple keep say­ing I’m going to hell if I don’t change
But I sold my soul to god when I was barely eight
All of Jacob’s lad­ders couldn’t res­cue me
All because I bought that house on golden street
Built a bridge between our hearts but it was weak
Lit­tle did I know it wouldn’t hold my weight
Now I’m falling fast into a great ravine
Won­der when I land if ill be on my feet
These days I’m just try­ing to find out what love means
Find my place within this crazy scene
These days I’m just try­ing to find out what love means
Find my place within this dream
Father can you spare me
A moment of your time
Why’d you hide the answers
In between the lines
Why do I have questions
When you’re always right
