Spent a solid night
Dodging sleep again
A dirty garage littered with

Smoke from pipes and pyramids of cans
Scale one more roof
For talks of friends estranged

The heights that offer views
Of times that earn our praise



At times you have to dive
Through sewage in this life

That filthy creek where
The purest parts reside
At times you have to dive

By filth you'll be baptized
Oh, holy night
Dive until the sunrise



Eyes fixed on grey skies

While we try to find our feet
A downhill run in morning air
Though we always swim upstream

Asleep in the ba!@&(t
With dogs that live like me
In the cold of the sounds we make

In the warmth of loyalty



At times you have to dive
Through sewage in this life
That filthy creek where

The purest parts reside
At times you have to dive
By filth you'll be baptized

Oh, holy night
Dive until the sunrise



A summer for gypsies
Reviving books I try to read

When my hands stop shaking
In times when the daylight finally favors me



A summer for gypsies
Where I find my separate peace

We left our clothes there
In exchange for the things that we keep



At times you have to dive
Through sewage in this life

That filthy creek where
The purest parts reside
At times you have to dive

By filth you'll be baptized
Oh, holy night
Dive until the sunrise
