The Joy Is Ours Songtext
I'd like to save my skin
It covers my entire body
I'll put it this way:
If I've got to, I've got to
But if I can’t, I can’t
Last night, I fell asleep standing up in the corner of a party
Into the corner runs the hair, as they say
They do say that, right?
How easily it all comes apart, what was hardly even together
When the sky is raining, don't we sit raining too, basically?
It covers my entire body
I'll put it this way:
If I've got to, I've got to
But if I can’t, I can’t
Last night, I fell asleep standing up in the corner of a party
Into the corner runs the hair, as they say
They do say that, right?
How easily it all comes apart, what was hardly even together
When the sky is raining, don't we sit raining too, basically?
Joy is ours then, along with a little pain as well, of course
But must always must
And the way of the world is an open book
Behind everything, there is some other thing forever
You ask yourself if one weary mind can weather this shit storm alone
If one heart can set itself free
But I've spent so many winters sleeping a center [?]
And they could always swim away those we need, couldn't they?
And afterwards, it would almost be as if they never were
That money was a loan
That line was a quote
Thank you for almost everything
It's six in the morning
I walk into the basement apartment of a city I should not have been born in, slowly
Since I do not live there
I sit down, I stand still
I dig in the trash, wait, and listen
The worst part of heaven is how long it takes to get there
You have no idea In the haze of concrete, stained black by the rain
I stand still and listen
Last night, in an alley, I accidentally saw a ghost which tried to rob me
The Earth is what holds all of us up
The people who love me fight me in their sleep
But I forgive them, since I used to do that too
You can pray for me anytime you want
People ask me what happened, and who is who?
I'm not crying because I'm sad
I'm crying because I don't want to be here
I want to die at home
I don't want to die here
I'm standing still
I'm not holding anything
My electricity bill is going up
And we are all going to die
I, for one, am going to suck my thumb and go back to sleep
Thank you for almost everything
Forms are temporary
Feelings are temporary
Consciousness is temporary
Remember, you are dust
And onto dust, you will return
But must always must
And the way of the world is an open book
Behind everything, there is some other thing forever
You ask yourself if one weary mind can weather this shit storm alone
If one heart can set itself free
But I've spent so many winters sleeping a center [?]
And they could always swim away those we need, couldn't they?
And afterwards, it would almost be as if they never were
That money was a loan
That line was a quote
Thank you for almost everything
It's six in the morning
I walk into the basement apartment of a city I should not have been born in, slowly
Since I do not live there
I sit down, I stand still

The worst part of heaven is how long it takes to get there
You have no idea In the haze of concrete, stained black by the rain
