==Lyrics==
With your hand over your heart 
and your Boy Scout face, 
you win a new merit badge 
for a weakness for faith 
for a love of strangers 
for a love of dangers 
that most people don't feel 
because they don't really feel. 
They're like tables and chairs 
they're like forks and knives 
they're like planes and trains - 
hear 'em bump in the night - 
and their souls aren't talking 
they just wash up on the bank 
and there their souls are beautiful 
but finally start to stink. 
Their souls aren't talking 
and there are no choirs singing. 
It's just the pull of the ocean 
not even freedom is ringing. 
It's just a river through Memphis 
it's just a song by Led Zeppelin 
You 'gotta whole lotta love' 
They want the sound of heaven 
and that was all you could give them. 
That was all you could give them 
for people wouldn't be caught dead 
to be seen really living.

Grace is always forgotten but never forgiven

And I know all of this because I'm just like them 
I'm like some dirty old spy outside the Garden of Eden 
They say that fear is a gift, well it kept me breathing 
You thought I was busy? Well I was just busy running 
Running from your beauty 
Some run from the devil 
Some from their own history 
Some run from their hopes 
and some run to the sea 
Stupid, don't you agree?

Grace is always forgotten but never forgiven.
