Golden Street Lyrics

people keep sayin that im a little short on mercy
say my god forsaken soul will buy me things
fame and fortune pearly gates and silver wings
ya i picked out curtains for my place on golden street
people keep calling me sinner
keep calling me wayward saint
caught a snag along the path that they call straight
looked down and i saw that i had lost my faith
turned my back on promises id never break

these days im just trying to find out what love means

people keep saying im goin to hell if i dont change
but i sold my soul to God when i was barely eight
all of jacobs ladders couldnt rescue me
all because i bought that house on golden street
built a bridge between our hearts but it was weak
little did i know it wouldnt hold my weight
now im falllin fast into a great ravine
wonder when i land if ill be on my feet

these days im just trying to find out what love means
and find my place within this crazy scene
these days im just trying to find out what love means
and find my place within this dream
father can you spare me
a moment of your time
why�d you hide the answers
in between the lines
life has many colors
not just black and white
why do i have questions
when you�re always right
