[Lyrics for Everybody Else Wins – Fenton, Cornelius]
Theres a man with a sign around his neck
And he wears it on Sunday the best
Hes got a straight heart and a crooked smile
And his eyes are light just like his temper
And the song of psalm hes partial
But all the books are grand
He sets in his empty pew
Hand over hand
And he says hey Mr. Preacher man can you preach me some of this
And I said hey mister lover man can you save me can you save this
I forgot
Theres a picture of his girlfriend whos long been forgotten
Yeah shes gone
And the memories they fuel him, for another day with god
Just one more day with god
And he walks in his silence and prays for love to mend
And he swears hell be faithful or at least hell pretend
Forget all the sinners and try to save yourself
Pictures of her in a locket but you put them on the shelf
And these open fields are like treason and thats all we got
and for good reason thats all that were taught
he opens up her picture and pears at her face
he does his hail marys but she just cant be erased
