The Velocity of Saul at the Time of His Conversion Lyrics

Loosen the wire, your time has expired
The only word left is goodbye
In my new dream the light's shining on me
little needles of sodium unstitch the seams of the sky
Hold your head higher, the heavenly choir
Is settling in for the night
And where I had friends, I am left with loose ends
Four hours of vision exchanged for four hours of fright

But enough of "the fight"
Enough "you and I"
Enough of "prevail" or "walk in the light"
While the angels stand by I get high as a kite
I'm too tired to smile
Or know that I'm right
Am I right?

And all our best-laid plans,
Well, they crumbled in our hands
Our flags fell where they'd fanned
You held in your breath
Long after projections of death
You sat in the waiting rasping and gasped on dry land
But the audience is tired,
We've had enough fire
We're entereing the age now of ice
And I, feeling older, pull off to the shoulder
And wonder, with my head in my hands,
Should I call my wife?

And say "Enough 'you and I'
Enough of 'the fight'
Enough of 'prevail' or 'walk in the light'
While the angels stand by I get high as a kite
I'm too tired to smile
Or know that I'm right"
Enough "you and I"
Enough of "the fight"
Enough of "prevail" or "walk in the light"

And when the s***ecraft came down
I was left on the ground
Will you keep me around
Will you help me survive
After my time?
