The Good News Songtext / Lyric

Spent my commission on

Another diversion and I

Don't got no meaning

No purpose left at all

My pastor tells me that my

My light is dimming and I

Been too long drifting

In an ocean

It's OK

You just need faith

Been looking for answers

In the wrong place

But how do I tell him that the

There's something missing and I

Don't got no substance since you've gone



Every day I go down to the water

And I pray since you left me that way

Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my mind

On the good news that's in my heart






For the good, good news

For the good, good news

For the good, good news

For the good, good news

For the good, good news

For the good, good news

Since my baby left, my light

Refuses to shine

Like a bird without a song or

A sun that will not rise



Now I can make the eye

To anyone that I desire

Throwing down one for the lost boys

At the very edge of town

Now I can spin a lie

That burns me up all through the night

Cause I've got no one home to answer to

This time

Every day is in repeat

Like a carrier bag stuck in a tree

I used to find my answers in the gospels of St John

But now I find them at the bottom of this shot glass



Every day I go down to the water

And I pray since you left me that way

Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my sights

On the good news that's in my heart



For the good, good news

For the good, good news

For the good, good news

For the good, good news

(Don't got no meaning and I

Don't got no purpose)

For the good, good news

For the good, good news

(Can't find no comfort and I

Can't find no solace)

Since my baby left, my light

Refuses to shine

Like a bird without a song or

A sun that will not rise
