lyrics

You had a dream the other night I was hangin’ out with all these people
I took issue with you jokin’ ‘bout a cross and a gothic steeple
And if your memory serves you well, I was angrier than words can tell
So we had to start over from the very beginning

I wish we could start over from the very beginning
I wish we could start over from the very beginning
There were never ever words that were so damn true
Words makin’ me so blue
Like startin’ from the very beginning …

Now it’s many weeks on with your karma and your prophecy
Well the first one’s a bitch and the second’s true to some degree
Now I’m just like royalty without a throne
Like a hobo missing home
I’m like startin’ from the very beginning

I wish we could start over from the very beginning
I wish we could start over from the very beginning
There were never ever words that were so damn true
Words makin’ me so blue
Like startin’ from the very beginning, oh baby I’m startin’ from the very beginning …


You should have somebody lovin’ you
Like a Montauk breeze kissin’ your shoulders in your tank-top
While I won’t be there for you anymore
It’s just the way things turn out sometimes, sometimes how things turn out
Yes they do

Ho, where’s the light, the darkness that descends on me
Ho, make it bright, like a pyre on a boat goin’ out to sea
