Glen Phillips Thankful
Forgive me this sin
I'm falling over
flashing ten grands
rolling in clover
so ready to get up
and eager to please
when it's late in the day
in the middle of the life of the twentieth century
I never got it
I never got it before
hey hello
why do you get on
so much undone
just like it was before
we both got a lot to be thankful for
we both got a lot to be thankful for
Forgive me my tongue
doesn't know what it's doing
used to get washed out
now it's undisciplined and crude
I'm losing my language
call it a tuce
and the shapes of the thoughts in my head
aren't right for the words I've got to use
I got it never
never got out before
hey hello
why do you get on
so much undone
still you shine like the sun
we both got a lot to be thankful for
we both got a lot to be thankful for
white dwarf
red giant
it's empty in space
and where there's matter there's violence
I never got it
I never got it before
hey hello
why do you get on
so much undone
still you shine like the sun
we got a lot to be thankful for
we both got a lot to be thankful for
