Oh, that trouble you’ve been looking for
Came looking for you
Shouldn’t open doors you don’t plan to walk through
If I were you I’d pay my dues before I lose
That trouble you’ve been looking for
Came looking for you
Shouldn’t open doors you don’t plan to walk through
If I were you I’d pay my dues…
You’ve’ got a lot of long answers
To a lot of short questions
You’ve had a lot of last chances
A run of lucky guesses
Say your nerves can stand it
You bet it all and then step back
But if you’re steady handed
Then that glass is shaking, babe
I think you’re gonna find out
That you wore your luck out
That your word’s not worth much here
Oh, that trouble you’ve been looking for
Came looking for you
Shouldn’t open doors you don’t plan to walk through
If I were you I’d pay my dues before I lose
That trouble you’ve been looking for
Came looking for you
Shouldn’t open doors you don’t plan to walk through
If I were you I’d pay my dues…
The angel on your shoulder
She doesn’t say too much these days
And it seems you’re getting older
Faster than most men your age
Cause you toss and you tumble like dice in your bed
No lightning just thunder it roars in your head
That old dream full of numbers that come when they’re called
You wait and you wonder who’ll take on your odds

The Beekeeper

Here comes the beekeeper
With her pitcher full of smoke
She’ll put us all to sleep
I hope it’s dreamless and it’s deep
Sweet Prometheus, come home
They took away our fire
And all that this scarcity promotes
Is desperate men and tyrants
What fine design
what hands
what minds
The envy of Eden
our tools and our reason
It’s clear in the animals eyes
We stand
upright
Build fires
at night
Made on the sixth day
To rest on the seventh
And now we just try to survive
Both Surgeon and Farmer
Meet at
And each greets the other with a bow
They’re kindred instruments, you know
The scalpel and the plow
In the shadow of the mountain
We work when work abounds
And we wear out all our prayers
When the work runs out
What fine design
what hands
what minds
The envy of Eden
our tools and our reason
It’s clear in the animals eyes
We stand
upright
Build fires
at night
Made on the sixth day
To rest on the seventh
And now we just try to survive
