Lyrics
Sinners & Saints
Music & Lyrics by Jim Malloy
She's a late-night maker
Who's a taker of the ancient
From a basement
He braves a craving
For a lady with an accent
Making content
Always well meant
He wouldn't mind giving her the time
Come have some fun
Like the hot hot sun
It's a fact - fact - fact - fact
We could be sinners
We could be saints
We can make a mystery and
Disappear without a trace
Watch out for the sad dogs lying on the sidewalk
City sidewalks
Begging bones
The world churns as the herds are burning all the pages
Of the ages
In the middle of the road
See the man, he's a sadist serving papers to his neighbors
He's a hater
A door breaker
There's a red stain forming on the children in the schoolyard
They are target
For the market
It's not a head start
What a shame what a shame what a shame what a shame
We can be lovers
We can be friends
We can weave our dreams together
Live forever and again
There's a gray train leaving from the comfort of the station
The seats are vacant
The light is fading
No one's waving
Like a fly on the window
Watching nature from the inside
It's a short life
It's short, short, short, short, short, short life
We could be sinners
We could be saints
We can make a mystery
Disappear without a trace
We could be famous
Or we could be lame
It wouldn't matter one bit at all
We can manage just the same
We can be lovers
We can be friends
We can weave our dreams together
Live forever and again
