Perishable Goods   Run Time: 3:38

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1998

she's a given give me a gift
down the shaft and something's ripped away
you got wise long ago
what she's taken has long been spent
speak your lines under the influence
fade into the dream

my coat pockets dreams and fears
drag them out across the table here
trust the signs exactly as they lay
here we kneel kiss the sky
lose yourself inside the question why
God's eye holds you in its gaze

the unjust judge has summoned up
the prisoner for more extensive questioning
the courtroom chamber's full
regardingless of the missing persons
whereabouts and God you hope they show up
a moment here too soon

my coat pockets dreams and fears
drag them out across the table here
trust the signs exactly as they lay
here we kneel kiss the sky
i have learned the trust the alibis
God's eye holds you in its gaze

if they want your story well
those who are familiar can contend
to be that far behind
hey bartender a partial block
around the heart and loneliness
a car that's empty always overflows

Appeared On…
