I got my information second-hand
That life was better in the Promised Land
Now my shoe leather's gone
And the scenery is all wrong
Now I'm finding what it really means
True love is harsh compared to love in dreams
Of a broken canon law
And a sinner's first hallelujah
There's a lock for this key
But the map is incomplete
I don't know how to go
But if you set your eyes on me
You'd set me free
The truth is slippery but it seems to me
You find it mainly in uncertainty
When the volume is turned down
But you're still singing
The Promise isn't necessarily
Just exactly what they said it'd be
It doesn't have to be true
If it gets you where you're going to
There's a lock for this key
But the map is incomplete
I don't know how to go
But if you set your eyes on me
You'd set me free
You'd set me free
I got my information second-hand
That life was better in the Promised Land
Now my shoe leather's gone
And the scenery is all wrong
Now I'm finding what it really means
True love is harsh compared to love in dreams
Of a broken canon law
And a sinner's first hallelujah
There's a lock for this key
But the map is incomplete
I don't know how to go
But if you set your eyes on me
You'd set me free
You'd set me free
