Mama said the stars are the universe's eyes
I can feel them watching over me most of the time
We grew up believing we could learn how to fly
We came from the Earth, but we belong to the sky
I saw your soul without the skin attached
You've got the guts of a coyote pack
We've been kissed, we've been cut
But we do what needs the doing
We're just rainbows dreaming we're human
Please excuse the lights shooting out of my head
I keep 'em in a cage but they come out
When they see a friend
You must be a friend
You're never really going to have control of it all
So you best get cool with where your chips are gonna fall
We are the sun
And mother's milk
And cusswords
And poetry
There's no use in running
Unless you run like heck
The best things we've learned
We learned from the wreck
Jesus coming back as a woman this time
Handing out hugs in the clinic line
And someone tell the devil we don't need no Hell
We're all pretty good at beating up ourselves
As kids we believed that the angels talked
Everything is magic until you think it's not
It's easy to be thankful for the things you've got
It takes guts to give thanks for the things you've lost
And we grew up believing good wins over bad
So you gave away your heart but the wolves attacked
But then a bigger heart grew back
Please excuse the words coming out of my mouth
I'm a happy man but there's some things that I need to get out
I need to get out
There's no use in running
Unless you run like heck
The best things we've learned
We learned from the wreck
Jesus coming back as a woman this time
Handing out hugs in the clinic line
And someone tell the devil we don't need no Hell
We're all pretty good at beating up ourselves
