Father John Misty
Staples Demo
Everybody’s talkin'
Like they got all the answers
Everybody seems
To have heard it all before
Well I don’t know
That I got anything new to tell them
Lord who’s gonna listen
To someone like me?
When I reach for the answer
Will the words come?
Will the truth be there
When I say that I believe?
And it’s no accident
You put me here
Though your message is sometimes so
Very hard to see
And I'm a broken vessel
I am the question in the mystery
They say that: "one day
All will be revealed"
Though I’m happy just
To wait and see
If you’re gonna send someone
Then, Lord, send me
Everyone seems
To know just what they’re doing
As all creation
Goes burning up in flames
Am I the only one
Who thinks that we all may be in trouble?
Is it I alone
Who thinks there must be some other way?
We’ve let the politicians and the rich rule for a while
Now let’s see what the
Lily of the valley has to say
And I am a broken vessel
I am the question in the mystery
They say that: "one day
All will be revealed"
Though I’m happy just
To wait and see
If you’re gonna send someone
Then, Lord, send me
