John Moreland Sad Baptist Rain song lyrics

Well, baby, lay down your price[?]-break poems

While I sit and mumble at your feet

Am I a stone [?], or a stoned kid dreamin'

Of a closet-full of crumbled teeth? [?}

Young and hungry, dark blue and clumsy

Dumb enough to let you go

Outside the show, drinkin' Nyquil and honey

Tryin' to conjure up some rock and roll

You're the exception here, I'm the rule

I traded love for a song, like a fool

I'm always drawn to the wrong thing to do

And I keep provin' it

Where the sky came apart with my guilt-stricken heart

Baby, break me down, break me up

And we'll let freedom ring while the blacktop sings

In the sad Baptist rain for us

You're the exception here, I'm the rule

I traded love for a song, like a fool

I'm always drawn to the wrong thing to do

And I keep provin' it

We're the exception here, I'm the rule

I traded love for a song, like a fool

I'm always drawn to the wrong thing to do

And I keep provin' it

Well, the devil ain't nearly as real as he seems

Your name is a number I see in my dreams

Your heart is a dangerous, beautiful thing

I keep losin' it
