Beggar In The Morning

Steady woman won't you come on down?

I need you right here on the ground

I've walked the outskirts of this town

Been terrorized by what I've found

I saw a standing virgin bride

Where holy Dionysus died

She tore the heart out from his side

And laid it there, and there she cried

(Whoa's x4)

She said, "Hello, I'm a monster too."

"What poisons me is what poisons you."

Into these animals we grew

(But) When we were young our eyes were blue

I take my medicine on my knee

Twice a day but lately three

Keeps the devil from my door

And it makes me rich and it makes me poor

I'm a beggar in the morning,

I'm a king at night,

My belt is loose,

But my trigger is tight

May come without warning,

At the speed of the light

Make it shine so pretty

Make it shine so bright

I think I've come a long, long way

To stand before you here today

They're yours alone, the songs I play,

To take with you or throw away

Whoa-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o

(Away forever or fade away)

Oh, I want an angel to wipe my tears,

Know my dreams, my hopes, desires and fears

We may capsize, but we won't drown

Hold each other as the sun goes down

I'm a beggar in the morning,

I'm a king at night,

My belt is loose, and

My trigger is tight

May come without warning

At the speed of the light-

Make it shine so pretty,

Make it shine so bright.
