"Nu-Grape" lyrics

Cutting stone ain't easy
But it's how I earn my way
Some want doves and marigolds
Give me a stone that says
"Don't cry, it's only a joke."
Does that feel true enough for you?
Make me a headlight of your love

I was fire
Said I couldn't live without water
You were water
Water to put out the fire
I'm just a nail in the house of the universe
Drinking Nu-Grape
With a five dollar bill

They built a temple on a hill
By the name of The Rising
With Babylon at every nail
You've got to do a little dying
When the old ones fell, oh my God
And they painted out their scripture
Please don't cry, it's only a joke

I was fire
Said I couldn't live without water
You were water
Water to put out the fire
I'm just a nail in the house of the universe
Drinking Nu-Grape
With a five dollar bill

I was fire
Said I couldn't live without water
You were water
Water to put out the fire
I'm just a nail in the house of the universe
Drinking Nu-Grape
With a five dollar bill
