Watched it all flash before my eyes Getting born in the sun again Stripped of all pretense and disguise What was I doing? Where was I going? What was my goal what was my prize? I can't recall, and that feels so good. What is this place? Is this my life? Can it please go on? Because I feel alright When we're in your car together it feels like we're at church And I feel better than I ever used to be When we're in your room together it feels like we're at church And I see clearer that I ever used to see I've slept on the basement floor with the long-hairs and the play-fairs And in the lap of luxury with the high-rollers and the voltaires I've moved through the golden country and wore holes in my shoes that let the squalls and the blizzards in Be my priestess You're holier than me Why you gonna stick around Because we can run for free we can run for free Right on the edge of everything I could have ever wanted And what'd it get me? I kissed the queen I sipped the cure Are these the answers have death and tragedy delivered me? Is this the springtime? Is this my father's ring I'm wearing? Be my priestess You're holier than me Why you gonna stick around Because we can run for free we can run for free Am I sure this is how I wanna love? Am I sure this is how I wanna love? Am I sure this is who I want to hold close in the cold cold night? Am I sure this is what I wanna do? And I sure this is what I wanna do? Who needs you I can run for free I can run for free Watched it all flash before my eyes
