Portraiture (Same Old Questions)

Watched it all flash before my eyes

Getting born in the sun again

Stripped of all pretense and disguise

What was I doing? Where was I going?

What was my goal what was my prize?

I can't recall, and that feels so good.

What is this place? Is this my life?

Can it please go on?

Because I feel alright

When we're in your car together it feels like we're at church

And I feel better than I ever used to be

When we're in your room together it feels like we're at church

And I see clearer that I ever used to see

I've slept on the basement floor with the long-hairs and the play-fairs

And in the lap of luxury with the high-rollers and the voltaires

I've moved through the golden country

and wore holes in my shoes that let the squalls and the blizzards in

Be my priestess

You're holier than me

Why you gonna stick around

Because we can run for free

we can run for free

Right on the edge of everything I could have ever wanted

And what'd it get me? I kissed the queen I sipped the cure

Are these the answers have death and tragedy delivered me?

Is this the springtime?

Is this my father's ring I'm wearing?

Be my priestess

You're holier than me

Why you gonna stick around

Because we can run for free

we can run for free

Am I sure this is how I wanna love?

Am I sure this is how I wanna love?

Am I sure this is who I want to hold close in the cold cold night?

Am I sure this is what I wanna do?

And I sure this is what I wanna do?

Who needs you

I can run for free

I can run for free
