lyrics

CARIE'S ARMS


Patient as the spider in her web.
Patient as the memory in my head.
Patient as the rock.
Patient as the moss.
Patient as the leader with the lost.


Patient with yourself...


Patient as the tunnel with the light.
Patient as a flower with a fly.
Patient with a gun.
Patient with a knife.
Patient as a bomb up in the sky.


Patient with yourself...


Patient as the blood inside a stone.
Patient with our God, he's gotten old.
Patient in the sea.
Patient at the bank.
The writing on the wall is drawing blanks.


Patient with yourself...


In the dugout let's forget we were born to play the game.
Polecats batting karma all their nine to five lives.
Fighting words, you don't want a war.
Like the world don't want its weepers going door to door
to door to door to door to door to door to door.
In the dugout with the plagues, showing them what for.


Patient with yourself...


Patient with the birdies in the bush.
Patient with the dust under your broom.
Patient with your words.
Patient with your love.
Patient with the diamonds in the rough.


Patient with yourself...


War by land or war by sea,
paint the town to smithereens.
Just like bombs our heavy hearts,
blew our love away, apart.


War by sea or war by land,
patty cake with Carie's hands.
One day, I'll mean you no harm
One day, I'll be in your arms


Patient by myself...


Patient waits your wish inside the well.
Patient like a nest of empty shells.
Patiently the planes comb o'er the clouds.
Patient as your mother in the ground.
