It Will Never Be This Way Again - Simon Joyner

It Will Never Be This Way Again - Simon Joyner
The gospel dogs are wailing
Now that the sun has gone
And black clouds chase chattering birds
Over the horizon
The streets are clean and dry
But for the garbage and the rain
And it will never be this way again
Well time doesn't move
Yet everybody feels they're chased
By the ghosts who come unglued
In the portraits we misplace
Everyone gets wasted
By the pretty poisons in their brain
And we will never be this happy again
We will never be this happy again
The clock puts his face down in his hands and then
Cries as the sun gets swallowed by the ocean
And it will never be this way again
The lonely boarder complains
Of being buried in his bed
The fortune teller nods and smiles
As she unravels him some thread
She says Why don't you go find yourself
Somewhere else you can hang
'Cause you will never be this lucky again”
If you're blessed with concrete courage
Then glory is a birthright
So choose something to defeat
That will not go and throw the fight
The only way to rise again
Is to go and get yourself slain
But it will never be that easy again
It'll never be that easy again
The clock puts his face down in his hands and then
Cries as the sun gets swallowed by the ocean
And it will never be that easy again
No it will never be this way again
