Is it all that you want? I wish I could do that again but I already know That the power of christ is inside her Is too strong for me to overthrow And I wasn't talking about Whoopi Goldberg When I said I would see your ghost And I will follow you now to your grave somehow But you've always been crap as a host And you'd push me from pillar to post These are the days when you will recognize All the love and the loss in your eyes And the memories of me at the vending machines Does god even know what it means To be taken down in fits and starts By village halls and vandal hearts? And i wish I was your lone god for just one day I would do the things I never do None of which i'd owe to you And no-one even listens to a word these people say And I wish I could try that again But I already knew that persistence is never my strong point This desire is too long overdue And I wasn't thinking I was Patrick Swayze When I went dirty dancing with you And I'd follow you now to your grave somehow But I'm not sure what good it would do What does that even prove? These are the days when you will recognize
All the love and the loss in your eyes And the memories of me at the vending machines Does god even know what it means To be taken down in fits and starts By village halls and vandal hearts? And I wish I was your lone god for just one day I would do the things I'd never do None of which I'd owe to you And no-one even listens to a word these people say And now that you fear it the most I thought of you not as a ghost Now I'm hiding confessions in prose None of which you'll ever alter Is it all that you want Is it everything you've got? My god To be taken down in fits and starts By village halls and vandal hearts? And I wish I was your lone god for just one day I would do the things I never do None of which I'd owe to you And no-one even listens to a word these people say "Slow down, slow down!" Calls the captain as his ship runs aground And I could swing this vessel to starboard But there's really no point in that now And I admit that I counted my chickens And since then I've been counting the cost And you hate all life's unanswered questions But you still hurry home to watch Lost
