Every fault that i repent
there's another chip you haven't spent
and you're cashing them all in
where do we begin
To get clean again
can we get clean again
I walk home alone with you
and the mood you're born into
sometimes you led me in
and i take it on the chin
I can't get clean again
i want to know
can we get clean again
The god of wine comes crashing through the headlight of a car-that
took you farther than you though you'd ever want to go
We can't get back again
you can't get back again
She takes a drink and then she waits
the alcohol it permeates
and soon the cells give way
and cancels out the day
I can't keep it all together
(it's the world
stuck underneath the moon)
i know…, i know…, i know…, i know…, i know…, i know…, i know…
i can't keep it all together
(it's the world
stuck underneath the moon)
And the siren's song that is your madness
holds a truth i can't erase
all alone on your face
Every glamorous sunrise
throws the planets out of line
the star sign out of whack
a fraudulent zodiac
And the god of wine is crouched down in my room
you let me down
i said it
and now i'm goin' down
and you're not ever around
and i said “no…”
I can't keep it all together
(it's the world
stuck underneath the moon)
and i know…, i know…, i know…, i know…, i know…, i know…, i know…
i can't keep it all together
(it's the world
stuck underneath the moon)
And there's a memory of a window
looking through i see you
searching from something i could never give you
and there's someone who understands you more than i do
a sadness i can't erase
all alone on your face
