Lungs Lyrics by Lyle Lovett

Lungs Lyrics

    Well won't you lend your lungs to me
    Mine are collapsing
    Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
    Up the time that's passing
    And breath i'll take and breath i'll give
    And pray the day's not poison
    Stand among the ones that live
    In lonely indecision

    Fingers walk the darkness down
    Mind is on the midnight
    Gather up the gold you've found
    You fool it's only moonlight
    And if you try to take it home
    Your hands will turn to butter
    You better leave this dream alone
    Try to find another

    Salvation sat and crossed herself
    Called the devil partner
    Wisdom burned upon a shelf
    Who'll kill the raging cancer
    Seal the river at its mouth
    Take the water prisoner
    Fill the sky with screams and cries
    Bathe in fiery answers

    Jesus was an only son
    And love his only concept
    Strangers cry in foreign tongues
    And dirty up the doorstep
    And i for one and you for two
    Ain't got the time for outside
    Just keep your injured looks to you
    We'll tell the world that we tried
