    Live - I Alone

    it's easier not to be wise
    and measure these things by your brains
    I sank into Eden with you
    alone in the church by and by
    I'll read to you here, save your eyes
    you'll need them, your boat is at sea
    your anchor is up, you've been swept away
    and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
    to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate

    I alone love you
    I alone tempt you
    I alone love you
    fear is not the end of this!

    it's easier not to be great
    and measure these things by your eyes
    we long to be here by his resolve
    alone in the church by and by
    to cradle the baby in space
    and leave you there by yourself chained to fate

    oh, now, we took it back too far,
    only love can save us now,
    all these riddles that you burn
    all come runnin' back to you,
    all these rhythms that you hide
    only love can save us now,
    all these riddles that you burn yeah, yeah, yeah

    You and I - may kill ourselves
    You and I - go straight to hell
    Where they have barbeque and beer
    Better than they do up here
    And you know all the words to the songs

    Yeah - we smoke cigarettes
    We dance with the dead
    They're soft to the touch
    We drink way too much

    And darling, I think you'll like it here
    You might like it here

    You and I - we ain't no saints
    You and I - we can see our fates
    We'll be the faces in the clouds
    We'll be a gospel singer's shout
    We'll be the lights from an airplane at night

    Hey yeah - I can't stay in my skin
    I bin in here too long
    But I know where to find, a really good time
    And darlin' I think you'll like it here
    You might like it here

    I'm gonna fall in love
    With ev'ryone I meet
    And ev'ryone I see
    And ev'rything I touch
    And ev'rything I feel

    Isn't that the way (Isn't that the way)
    It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
    It's supposed to be?

    I'm the look upon your face
    The water on your lawn
    The light from distant stars
    The wreckage of a plane

    The space between your teeth
    The itch you cannot scratch
    The mentally unfit
    The pimple on your lip

    Isn't that the way (Isn't that the way)
    It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
    It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
    It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)

    I'm the ice cubes in your glass
    A busted cadillac
    A garden of delight
    A joker in your deck

    Well it ain't in what I feel
    No, it ain't in what I say
    In the pleasure of a kiss
    It never fades away

    Isn't that the way (Isn't that the way)
    It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
    It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
    It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)

    You and I
