Lady of the ark I think I found a part I think I found a piece of what you used to be Dozing in the back of a funeral car And tangled in the blankets of your memories Oh why, why did I waste you If I'd have felt that love come the fall I couldn't save you Plunging to the earth the sweetest cannonball Oh why, why did I know you How did I know you would go in the end The light of the sky you told me "Baby I'll be gone but when I'm back again we'll try" Try Try Try Lady of the ark I think you were the start I think you were the key with which his heart was closed Not his only secret, not his only weakness I found him at the party feeling through her clothes And he cried, cried, "I'm wasted" And he could look you straight in the mouth But all that time he'd take it Even though he didn't watch the words come out Oh why, why did you leave me Why did you think it would rip me apart When we were always bleeding In with (?) spirit when the soul departs the mind Mind Mind Mind And I can see your face now Tripping sick with your ear to the wall You can find the way down my lady My lady Til' you fall So fall Fall Well strange part of the woman She can't see it coming Bats her eyes at everybody one by one And though she's moving faster still he's blowing past her Naked with his eye toward the morning sun But you're wild Wild I've seen it And he left you sick when you loved him the most So now you're done, defeated Torn between the devil and the holy ghost Swing low, low sweet heathen Swing for the wretch and the rock and roll kid Roam this earth repeat it All this sin until this wicked world makes sense In time Time Time Time
