Strange change is a good thing It likes to rip folks apart, change the hue of their face There's no time like the present, no place like home for change I could pour me a tall glass of the sky so wise I could bicker and fuss, I could tuck tail and hide But i'll wrap around you and let the spirit inside Be still and let my words fall on water I'm patient to see just how tall A man can get when he's got it all Good things came when I waited for the drought to end My habits I could crush for you and my lust I could send away But there' nothing I can do to avoid that fateful day when our beauty falls away What's my name in the language of the men who came in the name of the Lord? Hallowed be the flame that burns beneath me; let me try to explain before you blame me like before It's all spiritual to the young, blonde, easy-going lover's soul But it's "all hail" to the spirits that soar down the throat of the man who says the devil makes him drink more Time away will do us well Take the chance that he gave us and give 'em hell
