Golden street

People keep sayin' that I'm a little short on mercy

Say my god forsaken soul will buy me things

Fame and fortune pearly gates and silver wings

Yeah 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 I'd never break

These days I'm just trying to find out what love means

People keep saying I'm goin' to hell if I dont change

But I sold my soul to God when I was barely eight

All of Jacob's ladders couldn't 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 I'm fallin' fast into a great ravine

Wonder when I land if I'll be on my feet

These days I'm just trying to find out what love means

And find my place within this crazy scene

These days I'm 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
