Catholic Knees

Dusting off the all night from my catholic knees

I scraped them up good

(Scraped them up good)

Scraped them up good

You doctored them clean



Oh yes, I am patient, patient

Salt-licked wounds merely bruised

(But none of that'll matter)

None of that'll matter soon

On some ancient date seeing how much you can take

None of that'll matter

None of that'll matter soon



Everything was moving so fast

(Everything was moving so fast)

Everything was moving so fast

(Everything was moving...)



Before my hands had the chance to grow

All I was told

"Good enough's as good as it's gonna get"

Yeah "good enough's as good as you'll ever get"



Said I, I made a conscious decision

To shake the skin I was stuck in

Stretch my bones

Believe in nothing

I can't quite seem to catch my breath

(But I cannot forget)



That none of that'll matter soon

(None of that'll matter soon)

None of that'll matter soon

(None of that'll matter soon)

Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground



Everything was moving so fast

(Everything was moving so fast)

Everything was moving so fast

(Everything was moving...)



But that's where you came in

Yeah, here we are

Yeah, here I am

That's where you came in

Now, here we are

Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground

Lord, keep my feet flat on the ground



Everything was moving so fast

(Everything was moving so fast)

Everything was moving so fast

(Everything was moving...)
