99

Wait up before I'm all alone and left out
We could talk all night but my last cigarette’s gone out
With all that’s wrong with the world
I don’t think this field is hiding any pearls
And anyway, I'm not sure what it’s worth weighed against my body
All piled up, this treasure’s crushing me
I got holes in my robe and the holy grail’s rusting
I'm a dog that got left at home
Too much of my time is spent all alone
When you pull up, I'm going to bite you and run off scot-free
There are ninety nine sleeping at home in the fold
While I'm lying in a thicket, fighting off the cold
I think I found a good place to hide
While the shepherd’s up high on a cross looking hard to find me
I could tear down this temple in a couple of days
If I don’t go to sleep and forget to pray
Anyway, I'm not sure what it’s worth weighed against my body
I'm going to hurt you all, if you’ll give me the chance
I'm one part wolf, one part romance
And why would you ever want to raise my body?
I could tear down this temple in a couple of days
If I don’t go to sleep and forget to pray
Anyway, I'm not sure what it’s worth weighed against my body
I'm going to hurt you all, if you’ll give me the chance
I'm two parts wolf, one part romance
And why would you want to raise my body?
