Deliver Me

She can turn a room round on a dime

part a crowd like the Red Sea

she's Moses

and stranger's eyes

all fall and rise

on her length

like they're sizing up roses

Delivery? she could deliver me

she broke her own commandment

thou shall not steal from me

my breath is gone

that's burglary

never trust a prophet

in a party dress

I'm here waiting on a train

there are things that I can't explain

like how I got tied to the tracks

and why love goes down

like some robbery

Deliver me

Deliver me

There's a punchline on the sidewalk

but the joke seems kind of cruel

It's the ones your friends aren't telling

that makes you look the fool

So you step out into traffic

cause it's safer on the street

you react to perfect strangers

as if the world's complete

It's when you are anonymous

you can pull the wool over all of us

but when you lean

don't fall on us

broken more or less

Have you ever been ashamed

Have you ever been defeated

crying, calling out her name

like love can never be repeated

the whole worlds bringing you down

for a million different reasons

it's just the end of one more season

where love came to run you down
