the good news
Spent my commission on another diversion And I don't got no meaning No purpose left at all My pastor tells me that my My light is dimming and I've Been too long drifting in a ocean It's OK You just need faith Been looking for answers in the wrong place But how do I tell him that there There's something missing? And I don't got no substance since you've gone  Every day I go down to the water And I pray since you left me that way Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my mind On the good news that's in my heart  For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise  Now I can make the eyes At anyone that I desire Throwing down with all the lost boys At the very edge of town Now I can spin a lie That burns me up all through the night 'Cause I've got no one home to answer to this time Every day is a repeat Like a carrier bag stuck in a tree I used to find my answers in the gospels of St. John But now I find them at the bottom of this shot glass  Every day I go down to the water And I pray since you left me that way Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my sights On the good news that's in my heart  For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news (Don't got no meaning and I don't got no purpose) For the good, good news For the good, good news (Can't find no comfort and I can't find no solace) Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise
