lyrics

No foundations in this snow
Timing’s right to take it slow
Got two towers on the go
One up high and one down low
Mattress polyurethane
Cover good for fire and stain
Got two pills for shakes and pain
Saline bolus in my vein

Out on the wasteland
I had set a place for death
You touched me when I could not feel
I’m left a doubter fed
But hungry for a breath
Some higher power may reveal
Somewhere a sinner runs to me
I offer service for this meal

Plaster ceiling overhead
Rolling table overbed
I am sheltered, I am fed
By the grace of God, he said
Had them DTs twice before
Found him seizing on the floor
Why they keep him by the door
Had a dose, he needs one more

I ran a broken man
With nowhere left to hide
You cured me when I could not heal
I’m left a sinner fed
But hungry to provide
And I have cast my last appeal
Upon the ripples of a pond
I offer service for this meal
