indigo girls - closer to fine (live, 2009) lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m trying to tell you something about my life
maybe give me insight between black and white
the best thing you’ve ever done for me
is to help me take my life less seriously
’cause it’s only life after all, yeah

[verse 2]
well, darkness has a hunger that’s insatiable
and lightness has a call that’s hard to hear
and i wrap my fear around me like a blanket
i sailed my ship of safety ’til i sank it
i’m crawling on your shore (here we go)
[chorus]
i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains
i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains
yeah, but there’s more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line (whoo)
and the less i seek my source for some definitive
(y’all sing it)
closer i am to fine (all right), yeah
coser i am to fine, yeah

[verse 3]
well, i went to see a doctor of philosophy
with a poster of rasputin and a beard down to his knee
he never did marry or see a b+grade movie
he graded my performance
and he said he could see through me
and i spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
got my paper and i was free (yeah)

[chorus]
and i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains
i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains
yeah, but there’s more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
and the less i seek my source for some definitive
closer i am to fine, yeah
closer i am to fine, yeah
[verse 4]
i stopped by the bar at 3 a.m
to seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
and i woke up with a headache like my head against a board
twice as cloudy as i’d been the night before
and i went in seeking clarity

[chorus]
i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains
i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains
yeah, we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
we look to the children, we drink from the fountains
yeah, we go to the bible, we go through the workout
we read up on revival (y’all), and we stand up for the lookout
there’s more than one answer to these questions
pointing us in a crooked line
and the less i seek my source for some definitive
closer i am to fine, yeah
closer i am to fine
closer i am to fine, yeah

[outro]
thank you. mich+lle malone. jill hennessey. a fragile tomorrow.
