Playing Peter Lyrics
You can find me playing Peter from a perch
From the parapet that overlooks my church
But my gate is locked, the pearls don't shine
Cause I'm playing peter in my mind
I dot my Is and cross my t's
When I write down what peter sees
But I still find it hard to read
And I don't remember what I mean
What drove you out were ringing bells
What floated up were angry yells
What drifted down you barely heard
The sound of my ungrateful words
So I engage in thievery
Like art could save a wretch like me
The greatest judge in history
Makes Solomon look awfully weak
Couldn't I adjust my gait
And finally start thinking straight
I can't be right, I must be wrong
But the proof has been there all along
I lost faith in people years ago
So the future finds me growing old
A notebook spread across my desk
Me playing peter once again
From the parapet that overlooks my church
But my gate is locked, the pearls don't shine
Cause I'm playing peter in my mind
When I write down what peter sees
But I still find it hard to read
And I don't remember what I mean
What floated up were angry yells
What drifted down you barely heard
The sound of my ungrateful words
Like art could save a wretch like me
The greatest judge in history
Makes Solomon look awfully weak
And finally start thinking straight
I can't be right, I must be wrong
But the proof has been there all along
So the future finds me growing old
A notebook spread across my desk
Me playing peter once again
