Authority Lyrics

Church Authority

She says it's ok
The rat just burned an end to ten men but
Who's gonna say
It's just not my day
She's got enough stuff to get me tough and
She's not gonna play
   The holiday is over
   The honeymoon is over
   The garden's overgrown
   The trust is rusted
   The rake's been busted
   The seeds are sown
   The signs on your breath
   What do you expect
   Echo in the hall
   The ghost of a picture
   Still haunts the monster
   Bedroom mirror broke
     I suppose you'll say she made a fool of me
     Oh, but she has authority
It used to be fine
Days full of music, nights full of music
Music all the time
Invisible lies
I tried my best but I transgressed it
Used to be fine
   Chances are used up
   Finances used up
   Energy is low
   Letters are returned
   Lovers are spurned
   Deliver quite a blow
   The signs are disaster
   I wouldn't put it past her
   The diver's in the dark
   The stale perfume
   In her old room
   Hell of a shock
     I suppose you'll say she made a fool of me
     Oh, but she has authority
I guess that that's old
The curtain comes down the circus leaves town
And leaves the game to fold
I guess that I think
The world keeps spinnin', people keep sinnin'
All the rest is just bullshit
   The shadow's getting longer
   The widow's getting younger
   The cup doth overflow
   The luxury of painted
   Babies in a crib
   On with the show
   Life is a tangle
   Of one-night triangles
   The tangle of life leaps
   You sleep like a baby
   You're precious as a ruby
   Goodbye, everything
     I suppose you'll say she made a fool of me
     Oh, but she has authority
