Lyrics Langhorne Slim – Great Divide
Text:
Everyone said that the sky is falling
The telephone rings, it’s your mother calling to see
If we’re alright
Everyone here seems so nervous
So uptight, yeah
I read the magazines, I watch the television
And I’m surprised the earth’s still spinning at all
But the sun still shines
I fill literal needs, fill your prescription
I fall asleep to the ammunition’s
Lullaby
Well, the line’s been drawn
All hell’s been left
But you can’t always eat what your fed
We’re lost
We’re lost
We’re lost in the great divide, oh
Everyone says that the sky is fallin’
We’re looking for the sound of a higher calling
How do you sleep at night?
Well, it’s talk, talk, talk but nobody’s listening
I got a hunch, I got a suspicion
That it’s just a matter of time
Oh, it seems to me we received the proof
If there’s a Heaven, it’s fucking huge
We’re lost
We’re lost
We’re lost in the great divide
We’re lost
We’re lost in the great divide, oh
