Close Up and Personal

Don't touch my vein with your new needle
 Don't be afraid of the pine beetle
 Just rest assured that there will be another day to
 And maybe here and maybe not
 And I'm not sure of all we've got
 A season ticket to the war for the human heart
 So let us gather by the light
 Some people have, some people might
 I hold you in my mind tonight to great distraction
 And tender is my sleepy bed
 Nightclub me in my sleepy head
 And eating dinner with your friends
 By their cabin on the lake
 And has it really been this long since we were free?
 I will now hold my head up high
 And I will walk into the light
 Erasing every trace in sight of every memory
 So what's your problem, what's your beef?
 I've got this gap between my teeth
 And but for this, I might have been a different man
 And by your watch, some time will pass
 And buy your wine from glass to glass
 I have seen the coming of our precious Lord
 We all unfold our pages from right to left
 Some day I'll get a used guitar
 And on its strings, I'll try to play this lonesome tune to you
 We all have sinned, we all have saved
 And much of this our true heart gave
 We all have given to our grave, our own excesses
 So watch me blow in two somehow
 Part Claire De Lune, part sacred cow
 And I am ready for my close up with the Lord
