I just had a really bad fall and this time it was harder to get up than before
I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared I cried out "Can you help?",
it replied "Not at all"
After the fall is over You'll be on your own After the fall is over
There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone There'll be much to clean and time to atone
But while it's dark you can shelter here In the bleak midwinter when you're feeling the fear
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again
A life's gotta have direction After the deals are done You gotta ask the question
Ask yourself why you go through it all When morality kicks in,
who will catch you when you fall
I'm a sinner waiting at the traveler's rest Seeking refuge from the storm,
and I'm a grateful guest
And a prophet cries out in high platitudes
I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through"
And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move"
Even at the gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a queue
Seems like I'm falling upwards Into the great white blue
And all my imperfections
You can learn your lines and fabricate a show
But the way we come in, yeah, that's the way we're gonna go
We cheat and lie to conquer our fears
