Missy (Acoustic Series Version)

Missy got off the bus one day
In a crowded depot, downtown LA
She looked around as if to say
I'm home
Well, I'm home
I'll find someone to love
And some place to drink
And some time when I can just sit and think
And I won't mind when
I catch the stink of these drones
Lord, of these drones
Just as long as I'm never alone
She had eyes as big as porcelain plates
And skin as thin as paper drapes
And she loved the Lord the way an apostate loves songs
So she'd sing to him before she went to sleep
I pray to you, my soul to keep
You're a shepherd, then I'm gonna be your sheep
Until dawn, oh until dawn
Well I'd follow you even if it was wrong
I met her one night at this coffee shop
Her face so bright, my heart just stopped
Hello my dear, I fear I'm not what I seem
I'm not what I seem
I should've become a better man
I should be more deserving than
This beggar, thief, and courtesan I've been
Oh, that I've been
Well I swear, I lie
I curse, I love my dreams
But I swear there's still some good in me
And I think if you stuck around you'd see
All the honest attempts at integrity I once had
Maybe if you'd help me I'd get it right
I stay awake almost every night
Staring at the ceiling
Wondering why I feel so bad
Why I feel so bad
Oh, I swear, I swear
I swear I'll never get sad
