Twist in My Sobriety lyrics

All God's children need travelling shoes,

Drive your problems from here.

All good people read good books,

Now your conscience is clear.

I hear you talk, girl,

Now your conscience is clear.

In the morning when I wipe my brow,

Wipe the miles away,

I like to think I can be so willed

And never do what you say,

I'll never hear you,

And never do what you say.

[R:]

Look my eyes are just holograms

Look your love has drawn red from my hands

From my hands you know you'll never be

More than twist in my sobriety (x2)

We just poked a little empty pie,

For that fun people had at night

Late at night don't need hostility

Timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts

Different thoughts are good for me

Up in arms, and chaste, and whole,

All God's children took their toll.

[R: ...]

Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah,

Time to risk a life, a life, a life,

Sweet and handsome,

Soft and porky,

You pig out till you've seen the light,

Pig out till you've seen the light

[Half the people read the papers,

Read them good and well,

Pretty people, nervous people,

People have got to sell,

News you have to sell.]

[R: ...]
