verse 1
Every day is 90 the thunder and the lightning
The Boys consuming fire and ice
I?m told we?re held by Jesus but who is he to squeeze us
And who are we to think that he?s nice?
Chorus
When downtown the crowds gather ?round
To march in the summer parade
Which will be rained on the day might?ve been won
If not for the songs to be sung
Keep your head up while we are still handsome and young
Interlude
verse 2
Meanwhile I just listened to the rain fall from the kitchen
Where I could?ve had you last night
You dreamed of salvation and I of education
And of the bits that fell out my mind
Bridge
Somehow I?m still passing up a warm kiss and a coffee cup
And goldmines that might?ve been gained
Keep your hand to the plow while we?re young and we?re strong and we?re brave
Interlude
Chorus
When holy hands won?t touch themselves
I know some others that might
Keep your eyes open while we are still burning and bright
