(Chorus) But it all came down to you and I, But it all came down to you and I. (Verse) There were banged-up hens stealing first base, Underneath the tables so we never said grace. Falling out of bed for the workday week There was kissing in the cracks of the flash flood street. There were budding blossoms bearing jolly rotten, Chewed up and swallowed by the prophet they were trying to follow, Bit too green, and we paid no tax on our quick romantic cul-de-sac. (Chorus) But it all came down to you and I, But it all came down to you and I. (Verse) There were washed-out cards in our bark-old clothes They were rubbing on each other, rubbing ghost on ghost. There were jonesed-up punks and Jesus freaks Weaving in and out of trouble, wrapping 'round and 'round a leash. There were sleepless dreamers, doomsday preachers The message and the messenger, the gun beneath the register The sweet gum tree by the dug drunk tank We could never give enough to the bad-luck bank. Letras de cancionesThere were hopeless sinners, sweepstake winners They danced with the farmer’s daughter, capered with the corporate lawyers. (Chorus) But it all came down to you and I, But it all came down to you and I, But it all came down to you and I, But it all came down to you and I. (Chorus) There was laughing in the night, sugar in the shade There were backstab handshakes made on faith. We were never out of time and we never entertained, Anybody say the habit that the wind was going to change. There were misled misfits, teething biscuits Fountains full of penny wishes, parties full of pretty pictures. Side by side with the birds and bees And we never said grace and never ever took a knee With the saints and ramblers, movie star handlers High above the aviary, underneath the cemetery. And we never wondered why, because the sun was in our eyes There was seed for the field, there was grease for the wheel We were drinking with the luminaries, eating with the missionaries. (Chorus) But it all came down to you and I, But it all came down to you and I, But it all came down to you and I, But it all came down to you and I. From Letras Mania
