[Intro]
Sell me, I'm a skeptical boy
And if you need helpI'm not easy to find
We met the man in the deep, Deep South
With the gritty smile and that dirty old church mouth
[First Verse]
Papers, read and weigh down the stands
It's cold out here and waiting weighs on this man
Still not full, I need a pass and a page
March stepped some steps and it spoke some words
I'm thinking about that dirty, old church mouth
(My breath was short, better hit the ground running)
(Fill me up with money gold, 'cause ain't no body ever needs me)
[Chorus]
I'll feel better when that sleep comes and finds me
(Salt was skin of maps made whole, gotta get out, gotta sell this soul)
I'll feel better when that sleep comes and finds me
(Stroll about through these forks and roads, find me in the pines, in the sleet and cold)
[Second Verse]
I said shine on, in that brilliant paced pulse
All I need in this life is this love
'Cause we met the man in the deep, Deep South
Shit teeth smile
That poured about the church's mouth
(March stayed with the dirty, old church mouth)
(Fill me up with money gold, 'cause ain't nobody ever needs me)
[Chorus]
I'll be better when that sleep comes and finds me
(My salt was skin of maps made whole, gotta get out, gotta sell this soul)
I'll be better when that sleep comes and finds me
(Stroll about through these forks and roads, find me in the pines, in the sleet and cold)
[Bridge]
(Fill me up with money gold, ain't nobody ever needs me, take me to the steeple, let the preacher's hands a'bathe me)
I'm heading down, down to the river
Ain't nobody needs me
(Fill me up with money gold, ain't nobody ever needs me)
Out in the water, let that man's hands a'bathe me
(Take me to the steeple, let the preacher's hands a'bathe me)
Saying, down, down, down, down, down
(Fill me up with money gold, ain't nobody ever needs me, take me to the steeple, let the preacher's hands a'bathe me)
[Third Verse]
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be bad as one, it's the loneliest number
Since it's the number one
[Short guitar riff]
[Fourth Verse]
One is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
[Bridge]
That being, one
Ooh-ooh-ah-ah
(Ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ah-ooh
(Yeah, we're all the same, yeah, we'll all feel that change?)
Ooh
One is the loneliest number
(One is the loneliest number)
Yes, one is the loneliest number
(It's the loneliest number)
(Ooh)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
(Loneliest number that you'll ever know)
We're down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
[Sixth Verse]
'Cause we met the man in the deep, Deep South
Gritty smile, and the dirty, old church mouth
(March stayed with the dirty old church mouth)
(Fill me up with money gold, 'cause ain't nobody ever needs me)
[Chorus]
I'll be better when that sleep comes and finds me
I'll be better when that sleep comes and finds me
I'll be better when that sleep comes and finds me
(Fill me up with money gold, 'cause ain't nobody ever needs me)
I'll be better when that sleep comes and finds me
(Fill me up with money gold, 'cause ain't nobody ever needs me)
