Geese - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You do not have to be anything better

But, my darlin', you cannot live like this forever

Like wild geese flying toward something

You do not have to do good

But you cannot do nothing

The animal watching and letting you live

You cannot offer up something that was not yours to give

And I'm doin' the talking how I do in my sleep

Just forgive me for wantin' everything that you need

And I'm pretty as ever

But it's never enough

What is chasin' you, brother?

What is testin' your luck?

And there's a hole in the center

You can see through the crack

It was there when you left

And it will be there

When you come back

I will not lay me down in front of the tracks

If I swore that I meant it, then I take it back

I'm runnin' water, overflowin' the bath

Somethin' lost in the center turns the water black

When you come back
