I'm waitin' for the sun to go down
I'm waitin' for the sun to go down
Although it's spitshine in the daylight
I know there's a crooked underground
I promise my ship is coming in
I promise my ship's coming in
And when I cash in all my favors
The color will run to your cheeks again
Try to understand, baby, won't you try to understand
Scratch my back, wash my hands, but make things happen
Try to understand, baby, won't you try to understand
We cut a path across this land to make things happen
I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
After all the half-truths and rumors
Hope you've managed to stay a little naive
Try to understand, baby won't you try to understand
Scratch my back, wash my hands, and make things happen
Try to understand, baby won't you try to understand
We cut a path across this land and make things happen
Try, try, try, try to understand, make things happen
Try, try, try, try to understand, make things happen
We'll make things happen
