  • Come now and listen babe
    I gotta reason why I behave
    Like a child with a light in eyes
    Running naked on a cold winter night
    I am like a pigeon that is spreading
    It's wings to fly away to better things
    Like a hammer that has made
    A dent in every little single cent you've spent

    Said oh God you've got to help me a little bit
    You've got to have a relief file for me
    Now I know I'm always right, that's a
    Thought that never even crossed my mind
    Don't touch me there, I've gotta be pure
    So smack that hand, and read this verse
    So I wrecked your life, what the heck
    My new found faith will pay by check
    This life's took a toll on my soul

    So this is me and that's my song
    And I guess that you can see that we don't get along
    I've shut the doors on what we had
    So now she can sleep with her dear ol' dad
    My eyes are dry and my hands are clean
    And I can't believe all the things I've seen
    Oh my God! Writer/s: BRAD SMITH, CHRISTOPHER JOHN THORN, CHRISTOPHER THORN, GLEN GRAHAM, SHANNON HOON, THOMAS ROGERS STEVENS, THOMAS STEVENS
