The Second Coming Of Eli Lyrics - The Roches

the phone rings ... who could it be 

that religious guy from brooklyn 

did we meet by accident ... yes we did 

did we communicate ... i guess we did 

he says i pray throughout my salesman's day 

stay late at a bar and i hey hey hey 

his wife doesn't like him ... six kids he's got 

the holy thing has him tied in a knot 

he thinks i'm lucky and free 

to be who i am unashamed or guilty 

but i pray as every sinner may 

the deep down blues won't go away ... go away 

high above way up in the sky 

is there a good guy or anybody watching down 

help is on the way but you don't know when 

there's nothing to say 

just don't go all the way around the bend 

goodnight 

put your head away 

reach across ... turn off the light 

soon you fall into a dream 

far in the distance a fade away scream 

i pray that we will be all right 

thanks again ... we were alive today
