[00:26.19]Missy got off the bus one day
[00:28.40]In a crowd of people, downtown LA
[00:31.17]She looked around as if to say, 'I'm home'
[00:36.03]But I'm home
[00:38.25]
[00:38.69]I find someone to love
[00:40.18]And some place to drink
[00:41.25]And some time when I can just sit and think
[00:43.88]And I don't mind if I catch the stink of these drones
[00:48.60]Lord, of these drones
[00:51.58]Just as long as I'm never alone
[00:58.98]
[01:01.95]She had eyes as big as porcelain plates
[01:04.68]And skin as thin as paper drapes
[01:07.25]And she loved the Lord the way an apostate loves songs
[01:14.97]And she'd sing to him before she went to sleep:
[01:17.71]"I pray to you, my soul to keep
[01:20.14]You're shepherd, then I'll be your sheep
[01:23.60]Until dawn, oh until dawn
[01:27.85]Well I'd follow you, even if it was wrong"
[01:35.18]
[02:17.18]I met her one night at the coffee shop
[02:19.66]Her face so bright, my heart just stopped
[02:22.37]Hello my dear, I fear I'm not what I seem
[02:26.75]Not what I seem
[02:30.26]I should've become a better man
[02:32.65]I should be more deserving than
[02:35.36]The beggar, thief and courtesan I've been
[02:39.94]Oh, that I've been
[02:42.94]But I swear, I lie, I curse all of my dreams
[02:50.72]
[02:55.98]But I swear there's still some good in me
[02:58.57]And I think if you stuck around you'd see
[03:01.12]All the honest attempts at integrity, I was had
[03:09.04]Maybe if you helped me, I'd get it right
[03:11.25]I lie awake every night, staring at the ceiling
[03:14.21]Wondering why I feel so bad, why I feel so bad
[03:21.65]But I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get sad
[03:34.36]
