lyrics

Rodin’s Hands

So, it all went down just like Mama planned
The clouds split apart and Jesus came back
Separated –
The goats and the lambs
The sheep from the rams
The bottles from cans

Stop the press
Grab a rest
Meet the ex
Run the kids over to the zoo
Take the test
Do your best
Make a guess
Baby what did you hope to do?

I would have to confess
It’s a beautiful mess
And though I’m kind of impressed
I think I’d settle for less

Big Brother’s belly’s hangin’ over his pants
But he can’t keep from envying the dervish his dance
Still he’d like to pretend
That a network of friends
Is a means to the end

Chorus

Isaac just sucker-punched Abraham
That’s some poetic justice on the day of the damned
Daddy don’t understand
There’s a salvation plan
Written on Rodin’s hands

Chorus

…I would have to confess
It’s a beautiful mess
And though I’m kind of impressed
I think I’d settle for less
