God's Tears

It's wet on the hilltop
It's gray in the valley
It's blue in the malt shop
Dark in the alley
One lone flame out in the rain
Has been fightin' it for years
But I felt the fire right between my ears
Science is a liar and those are God's tears

No dam big enough
No levy so wide
Many have scoffed
Many have tried
Like a man pressed against the bar
So far and yet so near
But I felt the fire right between my ears
Science is a liar and those are God's tears

Tears of pain, tears of joy
Falling on the girls and boys
Tears enough to wash you clean
Healing with their salty sting

In a boat without an engine
Rockin' back and forth
I was headin' downstream
You was headin' North
You blew a kiss, said remember this
It's deeper than your fears
But I felt the fire right between my ears
Science is a liar and those are God's tears

You can listen to the peace talks
Or you can watch the fights
I'm just digging in the icebox
Trying to say good night
I heard of a face
On a distant sphere
But I felt the fire right between my ears
Science is a liar and those are God's tears
