The Barr Brothers Beggar in the morning

Tekst piosenki

Steady woman won’t you come on down?
I need you right here on the ground
I’ve walked the outskirts of this town
Been terrorized by what I’ve found
I saw a standing virgin bride
Where holy Dionysus died
She tore the heart out from his side
And laid it there, and there she cried
(Whoa’s x4)
She said, „Hello, I’m a monster too.”
„What poisons me is what poisons you.”
Into these animals we grew
(But) When we were young our eyes were blue
I take my medicine on my knee
Twice a day but lately three
Keeps the devil from my door
And it makes me rich and it makes me poor
I’m a beggar in the morning
I’m a king at night
My belt is loose
But my trigger is tight
May come without warning
At the speed of the light
Make it shine so pretty
Make it shine so bright

(Music Break)
I think I’ve come a long, long way
To stand before you here today
They’re yours alone, the songs I play
To take with you or throw away
Whoa-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o
(Away forever or fade away)
Oh, I want an angel to wipe my tears
Know my dreams, my hopes, desires and fears
We may capsize, but we won’t drown
Hold each other as the sun goes down
I’m a beggar in the morning
I’m a king at night
My belt is loose, and
My trigger is tight
May come without warning
At the speed of the light-
Make it shine so pretty
Make it shine so bright
