karma caught up last week   no one said a word   the lights died you could feel fear through the whole damn room   i placed my bets on the ghost   you kept your hands at your side   you can't see what you don't know   so keep your eyes and lips shhhh   if you wanted   to find the good side   well i'm sorry love   the sun doesn't shine for you   pretty people at the steeple   passing paper off for a god   believe what you will but don't come back   i'll stick with life love and lust   should have took that midnight train   can't recall my own last lie   but that's for the better   if worse comes to worst we'll shut this engine down   these nashville streets are lost   in the things we knew we thought we knew   save the sad songs for the trip back   we got three or more 'til tomorrow finds us here   pretty people at the steeple   passing paper off for a god   believe what you will but don't come back   i'll stick with life love and lust
