Wait! You'll Find a Better Way - Mike Doughty

I was a man alone

Leaning on the white courtesy phone

Holy fools and hobo signs

I rebuke in moony lines

I drove into the sun

Yeah I was the dirt and when the wheels spun

Wanting to escape myself

Leave the gun upon the shelf

Stroll through, 'scuse me but I thought I knew you

Smiling like a check is due

Feeling pleasure that you’re bound to lose

Wait!

Oh, you’ll find a better way

Oh, you’ll find a better way

Oh, you’ll find a better way

Wait!

Oh, you’ll find a better way

(Oh yes I’m free to face all the darkness on my own

Free to face the darkness on my own)

Oh, you’ll find a better way

(Oh yes I’m free to face all the darkness on my own)

Oh, you’ll find a better way

(Free to face the darkness on my own

You were a holy mess

You were dressed in infinite forgiveness

But you were the heaviest

Cat in the crowd nonetheless

You were a wretched wave

All the sullen trolls that you swam out to save

All the moves and all your mind

Dust swirls in the sunlight

All things empty and amazing

Jot 'em down upon the wall

Dressed like a professional

Wait!

Oh, you’ll find a better way

Oh, you’ll find a better way

Oh, you’ll find a better way

Wait!

Oh, you’ll find a better way

(Oh yes I’m free to face all the darkness on my own

Free to face the darkness on my own)

Oh, you’ll find a better way

(Oh yes I’m free to face all the darkness on my own)

Oh, you’ll find a better way

(Free to face the darkness on my own

Then I’m free to face all the darkness on my own

Free to face the darkness on my own

Oh yes I’m free to face all the darkness on my own

Free to face the darkness on my own

Oh yes I’m free to face all the darkness on my own

Yes I’m free to face the darkness on my own
