The Roches Lyrics
"The Second Coming Of Eli"

the phone rings ... who could it be

that religious guy from brooklyn

did we meet by accident ... yes we did

did we communicate ... i guess we did

he says i pray throughout my salesman's day

stay late at a bar and i hey hey hey

his wife doesn't like him ... six kids he's got

the holy thing has him tied in a knot

he thinks i'm lucky and free

to be who i am unashamed or guilty

but i pray as every sinner may

the deep down blues won't go away ... go away

high above way up in the sky

is there a good guy or anybody watching down

help is on the way but you don't know when

there's nothing to say

just don't go all the way around the bend

goodnight

put your head away

reach across ... turn off the light

soon you fall into a dream

far in the distance a fade away scream

i pray that we will be all right

thanks again ... we were alive today
