It's come apart at the seam
It needs a machine
The stitching's too hard on my eyes
I know I'd succeed if I had what I need
Instead of forever just scraping by
On the hill away over yonder, you can see past the county line
And I can't help but wonder, there must be something more to life
Reverend Jones says
It's all in my pretty little head
Grass is always greener
For foolish daydreamers
Should say thank you more often than please
When I'm down on my knees
Though I lock it shut the door opens up
Silly thoughts blow in just like the breeze
And I sweep them out, my mind fills with doubts
No I can't keep up with the breeze
Chorus
When I try to pray I can't think what to say
I'm as blank as an overcast sky
There's fuzz on the screen, the signal's too weak,
The picture, I don't recognize
My heart is a colicky child,
don't know what it wants, can't say what it needs
I can't quiet its selfish desires
And it robs me of my sleep in the middle of the night

Teach Me A Song

Late at night under the covers
Lit up by an old flashlight
The dragons and the cowboys would all come alive
The bravest ones who saved the day were the ones I most admired
But the faces of the heroes so seldom looked like mine
So I turned on the TV
Keeping vigil for a sign
Of a heroine to root for
But she was absent by design
And I turned on the radio
And listened oh so close
Just waiting for a chorus
That sounded like my own
Teach me
A song
One that I can hear myself in
So I know I belong
Teach me
A song
With a part that I can learn
So I can sing along
In my history textbooks
so many were left out
The heroes who look different
from the ones who wrote it out
Everyone needs a story,
In which they play a role
Everyone needs an anthe
that liberates their soul
