Oh My Goodness

[Verse 1:]
Oh my goodness don't run deep
It just floats there like a leaf
On the surface of a pond
Bad ideas and dirty thoughts.

[Verse 2:]
Oh my goodness is an act
The polaroid photograph
And if you hold your head just right
You find an old trick of light.

[Chorus:]
Oh my goodness is a show I hope you'll see
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee.

[Verse 3:]
Oh my goodness is a trap
A hollow horse I carved from scrap
Now it sits outside and waits
In the shadow of your city gates.

[Verse 4:]
Oh my goodness is a curse
Satin black, cadillac hearse
Now I'm riding​ in the back
Cause it's more comfortable like that.

[Chorus:]
Oh my goodness is a storm over the sea
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee.

[Verse 5:]
Oh my goodness is a lock
Ribbons tied to hide the marks
Now it's perched up in a tree
Raining shit down underneath.

[Verse 6:]
Oh my goodness is a glass
Let us praise the empty half
Cause nothing ever gets its due
And nothing's all we have to lose.

[Chorus:]
Oh my goodness is a kiss upon the cheek
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee.

[Verse 7:]
Oh my goodness is a bead
Just a broken rosary
And now you've ruined it for prayer
You have to bury it somewhere.

[Verse 8:]
Oh my goodness is a rope
Wrapped around my head and throat
Now I'm hanging by a thread
Just wondering what that hangman said.

[Chorus:]
He said my goodness is the fire which we breathe
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee.

[Verse 9:]
Oh my goodness picked the locks
Now it's hunted like a fox
In the moonlight looking [?]
With the hound dogs on his trail.

[Verse 10:]
Oh my goodness is a rag
Thrown above me like a flag
Soaked in gasoline and tears
It's been burning there for years.

[Chorus:]
Oh my goodness is a show I hope you'll see
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee
Oh my goodness is a man I'll never be
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee.
