Words and music by Nigel Clothier

When I shut down for the night
Safe from the thoughts of men
Who cast their shadow of a doubt
On everything that’s been
Go and check my post
For my letter from the holy ghost
Light my cig, make some smoke
Put two fingers up to the world
Which of us is brave enough
To stand in front of the innocent?
Some do, some of us don’t
Baby I just might
If you take an eye for an eye
Or turn the other cheek
Why expect someone else
To act on your beliefs
Can’t understand what happens to me
It don’t happen on tv
Truth be told my leaf turned brown
Long before it left the tree
I could never cry
For a stranger in cold winds
I wanna seek asylum
For purely social needs
I buy flowers for the girl
Who works all day with them
Why can’t I get it right?
I could use six thinking men
