proof

soon our fortunes will be made, my darling, and we will leave this loathsome little town, silver bells jingling from your black lizard boots, my baby, silver foil to trim your wedding gown, it's true the tools of love wear down, time passes, a mid wanders, it seems mindless, but it does, sometimes i see you face, as if through reading glasses, and your smile seems softer than it was, proof, some people gonna call you up, tell you something that you already know, proof, sane people go crazy on you, say ''no man, that was not, the deal we made, i got to go, i got to go'', faith, faith is an island in the setting sun, but proof, yes, proof is the bottom line for everyone, my face, my race, don't matter anymore, my sex, my cheques, accepted at the door, proof, some people gonna call you up, tell you something that you already know, proof, sane people go crazy on you, say ''no man, that was not, the deal we made, i got to, i got to go'', faith, faith is an island in the setting sun, but proof, yes, proof is the bottom line for everyone, half moon hiding in the clouds, my darling, and the sky is flecked with signs of hope, raise your weary wings against the rain, my baby, wash your tangled curls with gambler's soap, proof, some people gonna call you up, tell you something that you already know, sane people go crazy on you, say ''no man, that was not, the deal we made, i got to, i got to, i got to'', faith, faith is an island in the setting sun, but proof, yes, proof is the bottom line for everyone
