I raise my head and I close my eyes
Though what you said ain’t no surprise
You don’t believe I could turn around
Become the child that you thought you found
Anne, she drives the cart past the shops on eight and main
She could sell you her best thoughts but she thinks they’re all insane
Claims she’s been here and back twelve times around the world
And everybody laughs at her
Ain’t it funny how lucky we are
It’s a real good thing we wished on that star
When the world falls down
There ain’t nothing come between us
Your suicides come everyday
Lord, you raise your eyes and then you look away
And boy you stand by your religion until the very end
While they tell you what is good, and they tell you where to bend
Are you crazy to believe, believe God’s in control
As the taxi drivers race and the valium takes hold
And the lane lines don’t mean nothing
And you’ve never liked cocaine
And all my actions are suspicious
But it’s my upbringing that’s to blame
Ain’t it funny how lucky we are
It’s a real good thing we wished on that star
When the world falls down
There ain’t nothing come between us
Oh, when the world falls down
Ain’t nothing come between us
And they say, you drive pretty fast for a woman
And you say, there ain’t no cause for no worry
When the world falls down
There ain’t nothing come between us
Oh, when the world falls down
Ain’t nothing come between us
