things don't work that way

Cleanse your palates of the aftertaste
People jump on the sane bandwagon
When they can point at someone crazier than themselves
Pack up the whole incident in a trunk
Labelled things over and done with
The rain kept falling that night
And emptied into the dark gutters and into the sea
Where I was trapped bouncing up and down
And I prayed to this God who is not there I know
Please stop this current from dragging me out into the sea
I'm down on my knees and I'll stay there if you send me a whale
Of course He did not do anything and I swam in
Things don't work that way
No promise have I made
Things don't work that way
I'm down on my knees and I'll stay there if you send me a whale
Of course He did not do anything and I swam in
Things don't work that way
