Song Lyrics

I hate the morning rain
I grab my jacket
Damn it's looking pretty warm
I bought a cool new sweater
But when I brought it home
Noticed it was torn

I wanna spike my coffee but I know where that leads
And it ain't the safest feeling
When the angel on your shoulder falls asleep

'Cause then I let you in 'cause you were crying in the hall
Fool me once again
Wrote your name across the wall
Now the crows are crawling, longing for the magic
The happiness you knew when you were a kid
So I'm out here drawing on the sidewalk
While the storm of mid-morning's blowing in

Maria guide me by the light
Of all the stars I used to know by name
And if one man war's a cosmic joke
I guess I'll have to laugh at all the pain
And so what, I spike my coffee?
Maybe I'll never learn
And I must admit the devil on my shoulder is a master of her words

'Cause then I let you in 'cause you were crying in the hall
Fool me once again
Wrote your name on every wall
Now the crows are crawling, longing for the magic
The happiness you knew when you were a kid
So I'm up here strumming on the rooftop
While the black of mid-morning's flooding in

'Cause all I want is something to believe in more than nothing
I guess that's all I'm asking from anything at all
I don't wanna be the kind who's tangled up all the time in their dreaming
And what's the point of being needed?

So I'm out here taking on the bad guys
While the fear of mid-morning's sinking in
