There's truth in the gutter
though it slips down the drain
and in the soaring steeple
standing solo in the rain
each is worth understanding
part of the human chain
each one is revealing to us
comfort or pain
oh it's easy to misvalue
the sacred and profane
And we all have a cover
to keep the truth from one another
we live behind our twisted minds
afraid to bare the straight line
to our sacred heart
Oh it's easy to misvalue
the sacred and profane
And we all have a cover
to keep the truth from one another
we live behind our twisted minds
afraid to bare the straight line
to our sacred heart
There's truth in the gutter
though it slips down the drain
and in the soaring steeple
standing solo in the rain..
