Well it started the same way
as yesterday had ended
And you know she woke me up at
eight o'clock this morning
and told me that she's leaving
She said I got to put a smile on
this sour face of mine
'cause the new sun is laughing out there
and I wonder
Whether I should be here
Now my friends gave me this book
and you know that I was reading
But the dust just gathered on the cover sheet
and the yellow fingered paper melted
before my eyes
and I tried to tell her not to interfere
and wondered if I'm still wanted here
With a hand full of monkey reason
I stumbled out the front door
And you know they pissed me off so badly last night
with their beer breath and nicotine
stained laughter
And I explained to them I ain't got
no more answers
I told them I can take in no more
And it's cold in here
I'm about to freeze in here
Do you know how long I have been in here
and did you know all this time
I've been waiting
for my ship in the sky to take me home

Now I talked to Jesus one more
time in this monastery
and I begged Him for forgiveness
I told him I would never ever sin again
and I would play these songs forever
But you know that woman last night
she was so amazing
she was telling me over and over again
blue boy; you should never have come here
Now I saw mama in this zenboat
I could swear that she was screaming
There was always something wrong
about those paths
where you were dreaming
I thought she came down,
all the way down from hell
just to be my angel, and I asked her
if she's for real
and she said baby you're not even in here
And yes I walked the streets of Dublin
with Judas' hand in mine
and spat out words of anger in relics
of a misfit childhood
and I tried to tell them it ain't so bad in here
as long as you got somebody to hold onto
and all I ever wanted was to say
that I'm in here
