lyrics

I never have seen the light in any church that I've been in
Always a pretty sight though, the honest work of men in sin
I went out to hunt for reason
In an unfamiliar place
I asked those weirdos questions
To try define this struggle's grace
I have seen great works of art
Ancient outcasts silent roar
Has filled me with natural worship
buckled my knees to the floor
I find that light out on the highway
where the hours pass like lines upon the road
The sky breaks open somewhere over Kansas
And shines down on my near-forgotten soul
There ain't no light at the bottom of the sea
Except for from creatures known to make it magically
And I ain't no urchin
never could ask someone for their pearls
You got to work hard to get by in this world

I've been all over this nation, and I always will so long's I'm allowed
For I find inspiration
And comfort in unfamiliar crowds
There never has been just one place that's got it all for me
I need it all to be complete, from Bangor to Santa Fe
