The Great Divide
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A fever that makes you
Wanna shed your skin
A walking testament to original sin
Gotta good trick up your sleeve
Crocodile daydream, you wanna
You wanna believe
Strike a truce and stand at ease
Or you can choose to slam me to my knees
Cheap resistance, in my way
I wanna become your Independence Day
Give me something for the shape I'm in
Southern comfort oh,
Again and again and again and again
Missionary if you please
I fell from grace and landed on my knees
(chorus)
Welcome to the great divide
Fallen angel stuck inside
All temptation justified
I'm a prisoner baby, with no reprieve
The kind of chaos you can
Count on not to leave
Strike a truce and stand at ease
You can even slam me to my knees
(repeat chorus)
And if the money don't get ya
Something will
And if the sex don't get ya, nothing will
Bank of Karma won't loan
Your yin won't yang
The bed don't bang
And the springs don't sprang
Again and again and ahhhhhhhh...
(repeat chorus)
Welcome to the great divide, great divide
Welcome to the great divide, great divide
The great divide, great divide
