Seems like a thousand days
And there can be no doubt
He knew that he was right
But his eyes they did not see
He'll take it to the grave
And the world he could not face
Prayin' for a state of grace
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life to the divine
He pulled the shutters down
What all the others found?
But his eyes they could not see
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life to the divine
And the world he could not face
Prayin' for a state of grace
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life to the divine
