One of these mornings
It won't be long
You wanna look for me, child
And I'll be gone
One of these mornings
It won't be long
You wanna look for me, child
And I'll be gone

What does it mean
Ooh, tell me what does it mean
To live free
Anywhere
When you're stuck in this body
When you're stuck in this house
You're stuck in your ways
A bird in a cage
Stuck with it's brain
Making the same mistakes
But that's okay
'Cause you can change your hair and change your life
If you change your mouth, your nose, your eye, your skin
You can change into a twenty year old deadbeat
And drop ass in a warehouse somewhere and then you kid love

I heard it's said but we never told
You see it in their eyes and you know it's true
We could stand here in the same hated room
But our eyes would be different colors

One of these mornings
It won't be long
You wanna look for me, child
And I'll be gone
One of these mornings
It won't be long
You wanna look for me, child
And I'll be gone

I meant to tell ya
Thought that I told ya
But heaven is a boring room
It's a place on earth between saved and the drawn
With immaculate reception
And you could tell me again how you preferred sensitive men
But how you could make an exception
And how pagans and virgins and horses down on the floor
In all fours, eyes glazed over in gained affection
But what if you're just too fucked up to ascend
And what if your halo is bent so far
that it touches your head and sharpens the edge?
And what if the word on Nile was passed down
written on a stone and crossed out in pen but

I heard it's said though I didn't hear
I'm sorry, kid, I just can't forgive
Can't wash your sins when the cake dances thick
If you did, there'd be nothing left

One of these mornings
It won't be long
You wanna look for me, child
And I'll be gone
One of these mornings
It won't be long
You wanna look for me, child
And I'll be gone
