One of These Mornings

歌詞

One of these mornings It won't be long You're gonna look for me, child And I'll be gone One of these mornings It won't be long You're gonna look for me, child And I'll be gone What does it mean Ooh, tell me what does it mean To live free Anyways When you're stuck in this body When you're stuck in this house Or stuck in your ways A bird in a cage stuck with its prey Making the same mistakes But that's okay 'Cause you could change your hair and change your life You could change your mouth, your nose, your eyes, your skin You could change into a 20 year old dead beat Drop acid in a warehouse somewhere and abandon your kid but I heard it said though they never told You see it in their eyes and you know it's true How we could stand here in the same painted room But our eyes would be different hues One of these mornings It won't be long You're gonna look for me, child And I'll be gone One of these mornings It won't be long You're gonna look for me, child And I'll be gone I meant to tell you Thought that I told you That heaven is a boardroom It's a place on earth between saved and withdrawn With immaculate reception And you can tell me again how you preferred sensitive men But how you could make an exception And how pagans and virgins and whores were down on the floor On all fours, eyes glazed over in genuflection But what if you're just too fucked up to ascend And what if your halo is bent so far that it touches your head And sharpens the edge? And what if the word on high was passed down Written on stone and crossed out in pen but I heard it said though I didn't hear Sorry, kid, I just can't forget You can't wash your sins when they're caked on so thick If you did, there'd be nothing left One of these mornings It won't be long You're gonna look for me, child And I'll be gone One of these mornings It won't be long You're gonna look for me, child And I'll be gone
