And then there we laid

All slick from the sweating

A cover band played

That old Otis Redding

As the room filled with light

From the pink setting sun

And we welcomed the night

Like thieves on the run

Like thieves on the run

And that's where we stayed

All drunk from the feeding

Her lust unafraid

My greed left conceding

This man—proud and frozen

By an envious breeze

And like one who was chosen

I fell to my knees

I fell to my knees

And that's where I prayed

All black from the ashes

Our Lord disobeyed

My wage--twenty lashes

And then my rebirth

Like something remembered

I found my true worth

A summer Septembered

A summer Septembered

And that's when we played

All tanned from the swimming

Our debts are repaid

This sinner's now grinning

If the good's in the gittin'

Then here's where we'll stay

And spend our days sittin'

On the dock of the bay

Wasting time

Wasting time
