Lovers’ Revolution

[Verse 1]
I came to you, and you to me
And we were tappin' on the window at the children when the piggy bank broke
Pitchin' quite a fit
But how the makers of the medicine will always say you're lookin' sick

[Verse 2]
I came to you (ooh), and you to me (ooh)
And we would whimper to the women washin' milk off of their formal white gloves
But the funny thing
Is how when God was in his people we were dreamin' 'bout who else to be (aah)
And all the fingers that we damaged when all we wanted was a diamond ring

[Verse 3]
I came to you (I came to you) and you to me (and you to me)
And we were barkin' at the drug dogs, blood dried black on their hands
Never realized
You never tussle with a giant 'til you can hit him right between the eyes
(I came to you, I came to you)
That no matter how chewed it, we'd be chokin' on a compromise
(I came to you, I came to you)
'Cause all the jaws, all the claws lay restless by the riverside
(I came to you, I came to you)
And it wasn't muscle in the shadow that was shovin' us into the light

[Verse 4]
I came to you (ooh), and you to me (ooh)
And we were snatchin' at a poor baby's bottle just to trade it for change
But now its come to pass
That every eye beneath the mountain saw the smoke but no one heard the blast (aah)
And no one knew the arm was broken although everybody signed the cast (aah)
Until the government was good, she said "Man, I thought you'd never ask" (aah)
And When love wore out her welcome they just booked her for a bag of grass (aah)
And While she cried on the cross, we were suckin' on the laughing gas
And When the head it left the body not a flag was hangin' (half mast, ooh)

[Instrumental Jazz Bridge]

[Outro Verse]
(I came to you, I came to you)
I came to you, and you to me
And then we lost our own Lovers' Revolution but it started again
Now we're one
One of the parade wailing widows walkin' home into the settin' sun
(aah)
One of the soldiers lost in their dreams that never lose the gun
(I came to you, I came to you)
One of the wise men wanderin' the podium without a tongue
(aah)
One of the trophies caused by the mess we made of bein' young
(I came to you, I came to you)
One of the prayers, one of the promises swallowed with our chewing gum
(aah)
One of the deaf ears dumber all time for all the years of drums
(I came to you, I came to you)
One of the wide-eyed soapboxes buried under Washington
(aah)
One of the beat cops combin' every sidewalk crack for love
(I came to you, I came to you)
One of the crowded stars uncounted when the map was done
(aah)
One of the withered in the garden left to wonder when the rain will come
