elms - unless god appears first lyrics
i was born beside the erie in the summertime,
and lived inside the rust buckle ’till the age of nine.
i broke the rules of the preacher and his blessed little wife.
i turned the left side of truth into the center of life,
i pulled the grey and the gold out of the black and the white.
i’ve got a heart that’s full of equal parts of fear and faith, and they say…
unless god appears first, i will die that way.
i sing sad songs.
i get high some.
i got nothin’ to prove,
baby winnin’ or lose i’m the same… and i say
unless god appears first, i will die this way.
i remember kissin’ julie on a friday night
i told her she was the one and then she let me inside.
i stole the trust of a woman who was only ever kind.
i called her after a year, in a moment of need
she didn’t mention that night or ask no penance of me.
i was convicted and forgiven in an instant on that day.
and i say, unless god appears first, i got debts to pay.
i sing sad songs.
i get high some.
i got nothin’ to prove,
baby winnin’ or lose i’m the same… and i say
unless god appears first, i will die this way.
and if heaven comes, or i hear it calling
from the mansions behind pearly gates…
i’ll go at night, or on horses of fire
through whirlwind and wire
with a grin on my face.
unless god appears first, i will fly away.
