Got a raindrop on the tip of my tongue,
If I get all I want, I'll have to give you some,
I'm the beggar, the thorn in the brow,
I am the cross you force and twist into the ground.

Butter so stiff that it wounds my bread,
Got a dew drop omelette an trash can lid,
Ain't got no loafers to warm my feet, and the funny paper stimulates comic-strip heat,
Crack vials breaking like a shotgun blast,
How long can the sounds of a cat fight last'
Howling at the moon for friends who are passed,
On Sunday, we'll fly black flags from the mast.

I've been hurting deep in my soul, yes I have,
Does anybody have the time'
The Holy Ghost.

Diesel is the smell on a Mississippi grill,
Played trombone once for a delta dollar bill,
Pull the snow around me, snug me like a blanket wool,
If a lie here to freeze to death, I'd be another fox hole fool,
I got nothing new, it's used, borrowed and spent,
Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, and a pocket full of lent,
Living in a box of cardboard and grit,
Made a window, made a sign, "Wouldn't mind working a little bit",
No, I wouldn't.

I've been hurting deep in my soul, yes I have,
Does anybody have the time'
The Holy Ghost, yeah.

I can't sleep, and I can't think,
Life has poured me a glass that I can't drink,
The rim is jagged like a razor blade, and has left a scar that will never fade,
My thoughts are daggers on every nerve,
Life is a slow song with the dirty words,
When I get to Heaven will I wear a mask'
That is a question that I must ask.

I've been hurting deep in my soul, yeah, I have,
Does anybody have the time'
The Holy Ghost.

Anybody have the time'
Does anybody have the time'
Anybody have the time'
Anybody'
Does anybody have the time'

Hey,
Does anybody have the time'
Does anybody have the time'
