lyrics

When the fire's rainin', oh lord
and the quiet stream's about to blow.
Your keyboard's complainin', oh lord
The steps of your next dance you do not know.

Open your shoes
and take off your letter.
It's all falling apart
together.

It doesn't matter what the world may say

when your goals are aimless, oh lord
and you finished your novel from back to front.
When the truth is changin', oh lord
and you don't know where to take your guts.

Around the corner
and under the border
the one whole was sliced
into quarters.

It doesn't matter what the world may say.
It doesn't matter what the world may do.
I see the sunshine breakin' through.
I see the sunshine breakin' through.

Open your shoes
and take off your letter.
It's all falling apart
together.

Re-reading empty pages, oh lord
Painting on a canvas that will not stain
Be yourself on stages, oh lord
Spread your vegetables
and eat your name

The main mission is always arrival.
Don't end up dead on survival.

It doesn't matter what the world may say.
It doesn't matter what the world may do.
I see the sunshine breakin' through.
I see the sunshine breakin' through.
