Lady of the Ark

Lady of the ark I think I found a part
 I think I found a piece of what you used to be
 Dozing in the back of a funeral car
 And tangled in the blankets of your memories
 Oh why, why did I waste you
 If I'd have felt that love come the fall
 I couldn't save you
 Plunging to the earth the sweetest cannonball
 Oh why, why did I know you
 How did I know you would go in the end
 The light of the sky you told me
 "Baby I'll be gone but when I'm back again we'll try"
 Try

 Lady of the ark I think you were the start
 I think you were the key with which his heart was closed
 Not his only secret, not his only weakness
 I found him at the party feeling through her clothes
 And he cried, cried, "I'm wasted"
 And he could look you straight in the mouth
 But all that time he'd take it
 Even though he didn't watch the words come out
 Oh why, why did you leave me
 Why did you think it would rip me apart
 When we were always bleeding
 In with [?] spirit when the soul departs the mind
 Mind
 Mind
 Mind
 ♪
 And I can see your face now
 Tripping sick with your ear to the wall
 You can find the way down my lady
 My lady
 Til' you fall
 So fall
 Fall

 Well strange part of the woman
 She can't see it coming
 Bats her eyes at everybody one by one
 And though she's moving faster still he's blowing past her
 Naked with his eye toward the morning sun
 But you're wild
 Wild I've seen it
 And he left you sick when you loved him the most
 So now you're done, defeated
 Torn between the devil and the holy ghost
 Swing low, low sweet heathen
 Swing for the wretch and the rock and roll kid
 Roam this earth repeat it
 All this sin until this wicked world makes sense
 In time
 Time
 Time
 Time
