Indigo Girls
Closer To Fine (Live)
[Verse 1]
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
'Cause it's only life after all, yeah

[Verse 2]
Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear (Yeah)
And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
And I'm crawling on your shore

[Chorus]
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children and I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
(Closer I am to fine) Yeah
Closer I am to fine, yeah

[Verse 3]
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
And he never did marry or see a B-grade movie
But he graded my performance
And he said he could see through me
So I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
I got my paper and I was free
[Chorus]
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children and I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
(Closer I am to fine, yeah)
Closer I am to fine, yeah

[Verse 4]
I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m. 
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
And then I woke up with a headache
Like my head against a board
I was twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
I went in seeking clarity

[Chorus]
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children and I drank from the fountain
Yeah, we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children and we drink from the fountains
Yeah, we go to the Bible and we go through the workout
We read up on revival, what we do?
(We stand up for the lookout)
There's more (Yeah) than one answer to all these questions
That keep pointing us in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive, yeah?
(Closer I am to fine, yeah)
Closer I am to fine, yeah
Closer I am to fine
[Outro]
Thanks y'all. Y'all are really great. Thank you so much. 
Thanks y'all. We gotta go, we got a curfew, so uh, have a good night. Thank you. We really appreciate it. Take it easy.
