Cheap Salvation

I never wanted to be a part of it

You never asked me if I'm still doin' all right

You taught me a lesson and I'm still rehearsing it

I tried to find a simple answer that night

But I was lame in my mind

Sweet voices, more excuses

Damn, it took too long

You ate me, tasted me

And spit me out

Tonight the smoke did clear

I saved my soul in the easiest way

I stay till I dive deep

It's the only place where salvation's cheap

I had no money for the cheapest aeroplane

Believe me I would surely stay in the clouds

To be lost and not found

Just like that guy I would spread my wings and fly

But I'm not Sammy and I ain't no bird so I stay

At the Emerald Bar

I won't be chasing your dreams that made me sick

Being with you poisoned my days

I won't be waiting for yesterdays to come

Just one more drink that's the ultimate way
