Proof

[Verse 1]

Soon our fortunes will be made, my darling

And we will leave this loathsome little town

Silver bells jingling from your black lizard boots, my baby

Silver foil to trim your wedding gown

[Verse 2]

It's true, the tools of love wear down, time passes

A mind wanders, it seems mindless, but it does

Sometimes I see your face as if through reading glasses

And your smile seems softer than it was

[Chorus]

Proof, some people gonna call you up

Tell you something that you already know

Proof, sane people go crazy on you

Say ''no man, that's not the deal we made, I got to go, I got to go''

Faith, faith is an island in the setting sun

But proof, yes, proof is the bottom line for everyone

[Bridge]

My face, my race, don't matter anymore

My sex, my checks accepted at the door

[Chorus]

Proof, some people gonna call you up

Tell you something that you already know

Proof, sane people go crazy on you

Say ''no man, that's not the deal we made, I got to go, I got to go''

Faith, my faith is an island in the setting sun

But proof, yes, proof is the bottom line for everyone

[Verse 3]

Half moon hiding in the clouds, my darling

And the sky is flecked with signs of hope

Raise your weary wings against the rain, my baby

Wash your tangled curls with gambler's soap

[Chorus]

Proof, some people gonna call you up

Tell you something that you already know

Proof, sane people go crazy on you

Say ''no man, that's not the deal we made, I got to go, I got to go''

Faith, my faith is an island in the setting sun

But proof, yes, proof is the bottom line for everyone
