Saving Grace Lyrics - House Tornado - Throwing Muses

So we drive and we've driven ten thousand miles 

In our hometown, sink back into the driveway 

Which is Zen The head in the stars 

Or the body in the chair? 

A saving grace at odds with technology 

A saving grace 

Eighteen with a bottle of water 

Cold jeans and the face of Gibraltar 

How many trunks of your goods? 

How many goods do you give away? 

I'm spellbound when I can't move 

I stand in front of you 

I'm flipping back through pages 

Of your calendar and your books 

And your childhood and your looks 

I try to move in your direction 

Against the grain of time 

I'm hoping to recollect 

My thoughts and motions 

I pray to science and history 

Like cancer doesn't grow 

I worship and forget you 

Bye, worship and forget you 

A saving grace 

And holding on to what we've made 

As it drags us by the legs 

Across the living room 

Put the children to bed 

For a good night, for tomorrow
