I'm tied up and rolled out
In these feelings I can't hide
And the government's at my door saying
They're gonna turn all my lights out
It'll be better that way
I'll sleep during the day
And when my eyes adjust to the darkness
I'll know what there is left to say
Like the rain
We will graciously fall without aim
And I'd spend a lifetime
Trying to make it right
But no ring of salt
Could bind us in the night
When I quit my job in the afternoon
I won't take it back in the evening
If I die at dusk
I'll be dust at dawn
Let the buzzards have my being
But if the sun comes up again
Then I swear I'll hedge my bets
On a revolution that could turn me loose
And save me from the day
Like the rain
We will graciously fall without aim
And I'd spend a lifetime
Tryin' to figure it out
But no holy ghost, no sacrosanct
No deck of cards, no burning light
No ring of salt
Could bind us in the night
