Living in lonely desperate times
You're keeping me far enough and way behind
And never do I know

What you think and do you feel
Are your fires burning
You keeping your morals nice and tight
While keeping your mind all open wide
What's in the future do you suppose?
I may have opened up your mind

You seemed to know just what you're doing
But you signed and changed your tune
And I'm out loud and I'm not selling myself out and that's the truth

Keepin' Him low-key just because
Reason too cool to wear the thorn and cross
The direction not His course

What you think and do you feel
Are your fires burning
You keeping your morals nice and tight
While keeping your mind all open wide
What's in the future do you suppose?
I may have opened up your mind

You seemed to know just what you're doing
But you signed and changed your tune
And I'm out loud and I'm not selling myself out and that's the truth
