I Got the Reason

You know a lot can happen after everybody falls asleep
 Ask the forest fire, ask the cop walking on the beat
 And do right by them, work a little in your dreams
 Don't let time rob you, hold onto your memories
 In the glass houses, in the pages of the Rolling Stone
 I get a sick feeling, like I'm rocking in a little boat
 I hear the big church bell, it's ringing like a mobile phone
 It's such a long Sunday drive to be taking it all alone
 I want to belong to a reason
 And cut a new key to the kingdom
 And if anybody asks me, say I want to belong
 If anybody asks me, say that it won't take long now
 If anybody asks me, say I'm going to get it done
 If anybody asks me, say I got a reason, oh
 In the vast hard drive, in the satellites that kick and spin
 They keep the old footage so everything can live again
 Pretty pink roses, the ostrich and the elephant
 It's the last Noah's ark, so everything's got to fit
 In the creased pages of a letter I been trying to send
 To a young widow who is desperate for some kind of friend
 You'll find a long list of eligible, handsome men
 Who want to lay with her upon the table of the elements
 They're going to hold strong to a reason
 And cut a new key to the kingdom
 And if anybody asks 'em, say they're going to belong
 And if anybody asks 'em, say that it won't take long now
 And if anybody asks 'em, say Man I'm trying to get it done
 And if anybody asks 'em, say they've got a reason, oh
