Vices

Far away from any road
Froze my heart in solitude
Where your passerby can see
Our life's highway guard within
Knowing when our last does fail
Thy compassion shall prevail
Father with thee, let me be
On life's highway, God with thee

We need vices
We need vices
Where's all my hope and my marriage license? (Where's my hay?)

Those days are dead (forgive me)
Those days are dead (forgive me)
Those days are dead (forgive me)
We need vices at fifteen thousand degrees

She said goodbye to the ground she said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
And jumped

Our good Creator (oh no)
The dog in the manger
Where is my shrink and my mind's eraser? (we sing a sad song)

That forest burned (do you see smoke?)
That forest burned (a halo)
That forest burned
We need ten years on rewind so we can return

She said goodbye to the ground she said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground she said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
And jumped

We need vices
We need vices
We have neither the plans nor disguises

Those days are dead (forgive me)
Those days are dead (forgive me)
Those days are dead (forgive me)
We need vices and wheels to the funeral gate

She said goodbye to the ground she said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
And jumped
