Moving Work Of The Art
Time is jammed and flying fast
Brakes are bad the pot holes rough
I'm out here running from the past
What we had was not enough
Heard she's just touched down in Hollywood
And her friends all say she's looking good
I saw it coming from the start
She's a moving work of art
The night is thick the moon rings red
The stars are out of place
My mind is liquid in my head
Beneath the waves I see her face
Bet she pulls herself some tall coin down
Turning heads out there in Tinsel Town
She's so cool it breaks your heart
She's a moving work of art
Who we were and what we had
Keeps me guessing to this day
It's enough to drive me mad
She's a million miles away
I know she's out there thinking on her feet
Making passes thrown fall incomplete
She's as smooth as she is smart
She's a moving work of art
It's how she sets herself apart
She's a moving work of art
The Rise and Fall of Intelligent Design
If I could have just one wish maybe for an hour
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I'd want to be a woman and feel that phantom power
Maybe I'd stick around for a while til my heart got broke
Maybe then I could find out if I'm a half decent man
Or if I'm just a joke
If I could be the first woman president I'd take on air pollution
I'd walk the streets of Baghdad at dawn to find a real solution
I'd bare my soul for the people to read
I'd make my secrets known
I'd probably be assasinated first day in office
Or die somewhere alone
Its no excuse to be obtuse
It's no excuse to be deaf dumb and blind
When evolution is a thing of no use
It likes to call itself intelligent design
So here's the world in the palm of my hand
How come I'm feeling so tender
It's a mans world I've heard it since birth
I'm out of touch with my gender
I want to feed the hungry I want to heal the sick
I want to stifle the causes of suffering and hate
I want to know my enemy by the look in his eyes
I want to stop all this madness before it's too late
I don't care if you think I've gone crazy
Messianic delusion is a backbreaking grind
I've got a dog and a gold fish and a friend in the Navy
Don't know nothing bout Intelligent design
It's no excuse to be brutal It's no excuse to be vile
Its no excuse to die for religion or harm an innocent child
Its no excuse to be a slick politician
When the whole of New Orleans is drowning in brine
If I'm not mistaken it was Darwins position
The hole in the levy was caused by intelligent design
