Drinking while sleeping strangers unknowingly keep me company / In the hotel bar
Looking out a window that isn't there / Looking at the carpet and the chairs
The only words I've said today are beer and thank you
Beer... / Thank you / Beer...
Thank you
Beer...
Giving praise in a quiet way / Like a church / Like a church / Like a church
That's far away
I've got limitations / like Marvin Gaye / Mortal joy is that way
Outside a train sings its whale song / To a long long train / Long long gone
Then silence comes back alone / High as scaffolding
Until the wind finds something to ping / Or the pinging thing finds the wind
We're all looking for a body / Or a means to make one sing
