The Charging Sky Lyrics - Singles - Jenny Lewis With The Watson Twins

If I run uphill I'm out of breath 

If I spend all of my money I've got no money left 

If I place all of my chips on only one bet 

I'm all in 

And it's a surefire bet I'm gonna die 

So I'm taking up praying on Sunday nights 

And it's not that I believe in your almight 

But I might as well as insurance or bail 

Cause institution's like a big bright lie 

And it blinds you into fear and consuming and fight 

And you've been in the desert underneath the charging sky 

It's just you and God 

But what if God's not there? 

But his name is on your dollar bill 

Which just became cab fare 

For the Evangelist, the Communist, the Lefts and the Rights 

And the hypocrites and the Jesuits and the blacks and the whites 

It's in the belly of the beast 

In the Atlanta streets 

Or up in Laurel Canyon 

The verge of Middle East 

Still they're dying on the dark continent 

It's been happening long enough to mention it 

Have I mentioned my parents are getting back together again 

It's been 25 years 

Of spreading infection 

Somehow we're not affected 

So my mom, she brushes her hair 

And my dad starts growing Bob Dylan's beard 

And I share with my friends a couple of beers 

In the Orlando streets
