Beggar in the Morning

Steady woman, won't you come on down

I need you right here on the ground

I've walked the outskirts of this town

Been terrorized by what I've found

I saw a standing virgin bride

Where holy Dionysus died

She tore the heart out of his side

And laid it there and there she cried

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa

She said, Hello, I'm a monster, too

And what poisons me is what poisons you

Into these animals we grew

But when we were young our eyes were blue

Well, I take my medicine on my knee

Twice a day, but lately three

It keeps the Devil from my door

And it makes me rich and it makes me poor

I'm a beggar in the morning

I'm a king at night

And my belt is loose

But my trigger is tight

I may come without warning

At the speed of the light

Make it shine so pretty

Make it shine so bright

I think I've come a long, long way

To sit before you here today

And they're yours alone, the songs I play

To take with you or to throw away

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa, away forever or fade away

Oh, I want an angel to wipe my tears

Know my dreams, my hopes, desires and fears

We may capsize but we won't drown

Hold each other as the Sun goes down

I'm a beggar in the morning

I'm a king at night

And my belt is loose

And my trigger is tight

I may come without warning

At the speed of the light

Make it shine so pretty

Make it shine so bright
