Close Up Songtext / Lyric

Don't touch my vein with your new needle

Don't be afraid of the pine beetle

Just rest assured that there will be another day to



And maybe here and maybe not

And I'm not sure of all we've got

A season ticket to the war for the human heart



So let us gather by the light

Some people have, some people might

I hold you in my mind tonight to great distraction



And tender is my sleepy bed

Nightclub me in my sleepy head

And eating dinner with your friends

By their cabin on the lake






And has it really been this long since we were free

I will now hold my head up high

And I will walk into the light

Erasing every trace in sight of every memory



So what's your problem, what's your beef?

I've got this gap between my teeth

And but for this I might have been a different man



And by your watch some time will pass

And buy your wine from glass to glass

I have seen the coming of our precious Lord



We all unfold our pages from right to left

Some day I'll get a used guitar

And on it's strings I'll try to play

This lonesome tune to you



We all have sinned, we all have saved

As much of this our true heart gave

We all have given to our grave our own excesses



So watch me blow in two somehow

Part Claire De Lune part sacred cow

And I am ready for my close up with the Lord
