No Hell

Mama said the stars are the universe's eyes

I can feel them watching over me most of the time

We grew up believing we could learn how to fly

We came from the Earth, but we belong to the sky

I saw your soul without the skin attached

You've got the guts of a coyote pack

We've been kissed, we've been cut

But we do what needs the doing

We're just rainbows dreaming we're human

Please excuse the lights shooting out of my head

I keep 'em in a cage but they come out

When they see a friend

You must be a friend

You're never really going to have control of it all

So you best get cool with where your chips are gonna fall

We are the sun

And mother's milk

And cusswords

And poetry

There's no use in running

Unless you run like heck

The best things we've learned

We learned from the wreck

Jesus coming back as a woman this time

Handing out hugs in the clinic line

And someone tell the devil we don't need no Hell

We're all pretty good at beating up ourselves

As kids we believed that the angels talked

Everything is magic until you think it's not

It's easy to be thankful for the things you've got

It takes guts to give thanks for the things you've lost

And we grew up believing good wins over bad

So you gave away your heart but the wolves attacked

But then a bigger heart grew back

Please excuse the words coming out of my mouth

I'm a happy man but there's some things that I need to get out

I need to get out

There's no use in running

Unless you run like heck

The best things we've learned

We learned from the wreck

Jesus coming back as a woman this time

Handing out hugs in the clinic line

And someone tell the devil we don't need no Hell

We're all pretty good at beating up ourselves
