Close Up Lyrics

Don't touch my vein with your new needle
Don't be afraid of the pine beetle
Just rest a**ured that there will be another day to
And maybe here and maybe not
And I'm not sure of all we've got
A season ticket to the war for the human heart
So let us gather by the light
Some people have some people might
I hold you in my mind tonight to great distraction
And tender is my sleepy bed
Nightclub me in my sleepy head
Eating dinner with your friends
By their cabin on the lake

And has it really been this long
Since we were free
I will now hold my head up high
I will walk into the light
Erasing every trace in sight
Of every memory
So what's your problem what's your beef
I've got this gap between my teeth
And but for this I might have been a different man
And by your watch some time will pass
And buy your wine from glass to glass
I have seen the coming of our precious Lord
We unfold our pages from right to left
Some day I'll get used guitar
And on it's strings I'll try to play
This lonesome tune to you

We all have sinned we all have saved
As much of this our true heart gave
We all have given to our grave our own excesses
So watch me blow in two somehow
Part claire de lune part sacred cow
And I am ready for my close up with the Lord
