The Boy Who Cried Wolf

I've been called the boy who cried wolf
 Thinking it was love when it was just my glass half full
 I jumped in some nearly empty pool
 Hung around in dry fountains until I felt your pull
 You washed this stinging from my hands
 And I danced into your trance in the burning of autumn sand
 Baby, I swear I'm on the path
 Babe, I swear I'm on the path
 I drove to the coast with my two favorite women
 And then I prayed in tuxedo pants, I waited for my baptism
 Held a conch shell up and listened
 And I stared into his cup until I felt my prison shifting
 Babe, I finally understand
 Babe, I finally understand
 Best friends and whip shine (?) reserve
 She said, Go on out west.
 You're running with the blizzard.
 She held the hearse cords in her hand.
 Like a pyramid in the promised land
 Babe, I swear I understand.
 Babe, I finally understand.
 Babe, I finally understand.
 Babe, I finally understand.
