Peace In The Valley

She spends too much time with herself every night

Fooling around with her fears.

In the morning she mourns the decline of her mind

Drowning in a bottle of beer.

It's too dangerous just to think about what she might have been

If she'd sung for salvation, if she'd danced on her dreams.

He don't know if he's a communist, a hedonist or a whore

Spent too much time ridin' on a white line to find the door

If he did and he opened it, he'd find those letters in the hall

He's too blind to read between the lines

'Cos the writing's on the wall.

But there's gonna be peace in the valley tomorrow

'Cos tonight he's gonna blow it all away

He feels so twisted, he ain't ever gonna fix it,

He's just waiting for the light to shine on a brand new day.

Let that light shine awhile

I got Ecstasy, but I need some company

You got that mystery; I need a plan

All I got is a compromise and a bag full of alibis

as empty as the bottle of whiskey in my shaking hands.

But there's gonna be peace in the valley tomorrow

'Cos tonight we're gonna blow it all away

We feel so fuckin' twisted, we ain't ever gonna fix it,

We're just waiting for the light to shine on a brand new day.
