Rise Above

Crackin' walls inside my head

With a bottle full of rain

I promised to the coaster

I wouldn't tear it up again

Flick a peanut, break a glass

I wish I didn't sleep at Mass

And everything is closin' up

And yet again I come in last

I saw it in a dream

It was another time

And everything was blue

Everything was fine

And you were always there

And I could see clear

I was always yours

You were always mine

Rise above it, rise above it, rise above it

I see her on the ceiling

She's staring down in her gown

I had to make allowances

Between my love and goin' out

Now everything is closing up

The last call is well asleep

At gigs I danced with a Blue Nun

Now heartburn is goin' cheap

I saw it in a dream

It was another time

Everything was true

Everything sublime

And you were always there

And I could see clear

I was always yours

You were always mine

I saw it in a dream

It was another time

Everything was true

Everything sublime

And you were always there

And I could see clear

I was always yours

You were always mine

Rise above, rise above it

I wouldn't tear it up again
