Lyrics
I got a suspicion that the world is on a mission
To show me just how little I can do
The good times go by fast
All the bad ones seem to last
So much longer than I'd ever want them to
The way we deal with troubles
Reveals how much we know
They often make us stronger
But they lay us pretty low before they do
Some say hey don't worry
Help is coming in a hurry
Celestial sirens sounding so divine
Coming down so holy
Trailing clouds of glory
Bands of angels hustling up behind
Santa Claus is coming
And he's the bunny too
Tinkerbell's been running late
But that ain't nothing new
She takes her time
Grace just superheroes in all sizes
Come in like the sea that rises
In a tide to wash away our tears
They never show up till we need 'em
Not before we're bruised and bleeding
The nick of time is music to their ears
Dressed in ties and tails
A sight for jaded eyes
The whiteness of the suit
Sets off the blackness of the lies we never hear
If you give them all your money
They'll say thanks and call you honey
Tell you silver is the way to save your soul
If you're empty deep inside
They'll take you for a ride
And charge you double just for pointing out the hole
Slick as simple Simon
In a coat of shiny mail
And an attitude of innocence
That never ever fails to leave you cold
Oh the next time you're in trouble
When life's feeling like a bubble
Getting bigger while your mind is getting small
Skip the flash and thunder
Dial up your own number
See if you can answer your own call
Oh the conversation's brutal
It's often pretty clear
It's brief and to the point
And if you stick it in your ear
You'll hear it all
You'll hear it all
