here's a personal transcription of the modern version. corrections are welcome :)
i had a hole in the middle
where the lightning went through
i told my friends not to worry
my wife would know how to fix it
hole in the middle
and i'm seeing less of you
now i'm not going anywhere
and i don't know what i'll do
it's easy to lose your grip
it's easy
i never tell my decisions
to the ones i adore
i just show up
like a bible breather outside the door
but when i look in the window
i see girls on tv
living and dying in la
and it means nothing to me
it's easy to lose your grip
it's easy
it's easy to lose your grip
it's easy
so i walk through the streets i love
and i'm led to the house i built
and i walk through the streets i love
and i lay in your bed again
wake up your saints
jenny, i need them
jenny, i need them
today
wake up your saints
jenny, i need them
jenny, i need them
today
i didn't have to explain to her
that i wasn't dead
she sat me down and lit some colored candles over my head
she said you're right it's a livin'
but you're wrong for the life
you know you never should've listened to my father's advice
it's easy to lose your grip
it's easy
it's easy to lose your grip
it's easy
so i walk through the streets i love
and i'm led to the house i built
and i walk through the streets i love
and i lay in your bed again
wake up your saints
jenny, i need them
jenny, i need them
today
wake up your saints
jenny, i need them
jenny, i need them
today
All of that sounds right, except I'm almost certain he says "it's easy to lose your breath" instead of "it's easy to lose your grip." But it's hard to tell.
