lyrics

I NEED A SWEET REVELATION

Gone fishin - my mission:

To change these raccoon eyes
Deep dishin - just wishin’ to catch me one big fry
But my neck keeps breakin’
My back is achin’
And stress is in my bones
My thoughts keep switchin’
My brain keeps itchin’
It’s a complicated world
Like an oyster in a pearl

I need a sweet revelation
Fill me with stars that make heaven shine
Send me a sweet consolation
This waiting around is waste of time
Now that I’m free I’ve been lost on the wire

Quick shower -
Take a powder and freshen up my clothes
Big hour at the tower to meet my angel rose
But my mind is flirtin’ with why I’m hurtin’
And how the world’s unfair
And all my prayin’ just finds me sayin’
It’s complicated life -
Like a spoon within a knife

I need a sweet revelation
Fill me with stars that make heaven shine
Send me a sweet consolation
This waiting around is waste of time
I need a sweet revelation
Fill me with stars that make heaven shine

Now that I’m free I’ve been lost like a child
And all that I feel is heartache
Now that I see that a friend is worthwhile
I’m ready to ditch this heartbreak
Erase this mother rifle that tries to keep me stifled
A sweet revelation
Either put up or shut up but please...
Do Something!

(Awful solo and genuine frustration ensues):

JT : Do something! Even if you have to play a bad solo - do something!
My God I want something to happen so soon!
I can't stand this waitin' around stuff! it drives me nuts!
Just - just tell me what's goin' on!
Christ!
It's like I'm stuck in some sort void.
It's "SLIDERS" or something!
What's going on!
Every time I wake up!

I need a sweet revelation
Fill me with stars that make heaven shine
Send me a sweet consolation
This waiting around is waste of time
