  Live - I Alone

  it's easier not to be wise
  and measure these things by your brains
  I sank into Eden with you
  alone in the church by and by
  I'll read to you here, save your eyes
  you'll need them, your boat is at sea
  your anchor is up, you've been swept away
  and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
  to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate
  
  I alone love you
  I alone tempt you
  I alone love you
  fear is not the end of this!
  
  it's easier not to be great
  and measure these things by your eyes
  we long to be here by his resolve
  alone in the church by and by
  to cradle the baby in space
  and leave you there by yourself chained to fate
  
  oh, now, we took it back too far,
  only love can save us now,
  all these riddles that you burn
  all come runnin' back to you,
  all these rhythms that you hide
  only love can save us now,
  all these riddles that you burn yeah, yeah, yeah

  You and I - may kill ourselves
  You and I - go straight to hell
  Where they have barbeque and beer
  Better than they do up here
  And you know all the words to the songs
  
  Yeah - we smoke cigarettes
  We dance with the dead
  They're soft to the touch
  We drink way too much
  
  And darling, I think you'll like it here
  You might like it here
  
  You and I - we ain't no saints
  You and I - we can see our fates
  We'll be the faces in the clouds
  We'll be a gospel singer's shout
  We'll be the lights from an airplane at night
  
  Hey yeah - I can't stay in my skin
  I bin in here too long
  But I know where to find, a really good time
  And darlin' I think you'll like it here
  You might like it here
  
  I'm gonna fall in love
  With ev'ryone I meet
  And ev'ryone I see
  And ev'rything I touch
  And ev'rything I feel
  
  Isn't that the way (Isn't that the way)
  It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
  It's supposed to be?
  
  I'm the look upon your face
  The water on your lawn
  The light from distant stars
  The wreckage of a plane
  
  The space between your teeth
  The itch you cannot scratch
  The mentally unfit
  The pimple on your lip
  
  Isn't that the way (Isn't that the way)
  It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
  It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
  It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
  
  I'm the ice cubes in your glass
  A busted cadillac
  A garden of delight
  A joker in your deck
  
  Well it ain't in what I feel
  No, it ain't in what I say
  In the pleasure of a kiss
  It never fades away
  
  Isn't that the way (Isn't that the way)
  It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
  It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
  It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
  
  You and I
