Eels - Cap In Hand Lyrics

Eels Lyrics

"Cap In Hand"

Here is the church
Here is the steeple
Open the door, see
All the broken people

Does it make much sense
To build another fence
When no one is knocking on the door

And so I'm coming to you cap in hand
Before you I stand
A broken man who's picking up the pieces

Left unattended
I really upended
The world that we knew
Nothing you could do

Persona non grata
You do what you gotta
When you're not welcome in your home

And so I'm coming to you cap in hand
Before you I stand
A broken man who's picking up the pieces

And so I'm coming to you cap in hand
Before you I stand
A broken man who's picking up the pieces
