Down And Out In Canaan Lyrics

Drinking curdled milk from a silver cup 
Watching all the boys waiting for the plan to erupt 
You can talk all you like when you're down on your luck 
And you're looking for a reason to run 
Down and out in Canaan 
On a cloudy day you can see the sun 
Down and out in Canaan 
Nobody's gonna' ever give you reason to run 
Love is never so wise as it is when it's crossed 
Like an angry wind stirring up a handful of dust 
Turning water from wine, mixing gold into rust 
Painting justice in the wake of the sun 
Close the bitter page with a sour look 
Cast a callous eye around you at the pictures you took 
Live your life in a line, leave your love in a book 
Hang your money on the tip of your tongue
