I know I'm not a saint - I know I am not a "saint" but if you'll lend me an ear I'll be right to the point, and I'll be mighty clear these are just some petty wishes, you don't have to really listen - I wish you had sent down a rope, at-another-length- this floor lay uneven, with divots and dents I'm diggen my heels in deep, I'm trying to do my best I am in deep trouble If I had a chance I would get down and grovel and- I'd pray, each and every day. "OH God, why'd you go through-the-trouble" "Of making my path so winded-and-vague" I'm stuck in a little bubble{feeling crazed} no other place to roam I'm having a lot of trouble, trying to hear the phone, when will I ever-leave this safe zone? Why, did you even send a rope not even long enough to tie around my throat- but just enough to catch a **** goat I've seen in my dreams others with devilish schemes yet it's so easy for them when will my time come for me to be "Happy Again" How Can "I" climb to --------- "heaven" with only -----------------------------} ---------------------------------------- seven inches of --------------------} ---------------------------------- rope...
