I just might get it right

i was born in the cathedral

i was born inside the nave

there were people lining up

getting ready for the grave

just because

i swam naked in the ocean

climbed mountains on the sun

i deliberated nightly

about what i should become

just because

just because

weren't you inside america?

weren't you inside the gate?

making dinner in the furnace

burning darkness in the cake

i sang just because

i sang because it's right

i sang because when i'm singing

i just might get it right

i just might get it right

got a timer on the table

got a calendar to boot

got to watch them alligators

they will eat you in your suit

just because

just because

have you ever danced in reverie?

have you ever escaped?

have you ever dropped everything

always early, always late?

weren't you inside america?

weren't you inside the gate?

making dinner in the furnace

burning darkness in the cake

i sang just because

i sang because it's right

i sang because when i'm singing

i just might get it right

i just might get it right
