Material Junkies Lyrics

Material junkies hold out hands

Praying hard for a better deal

Card holder smiles and shuffles away

His luck just gets better each day



Somewhere between darkness and light

A shadow where nothing knows right

Some place at the cross and a dream

Someone is dirty the image unclean



In the act of one way or another

Junkie needle ravages the mother

Rationalized minds craving the high

Progressive race is choking the sky



Crooked eyes seeing only crooked fears

Waters song plays to deaf ears

Yesterday's child betrays

Tomorrow's child

Chasing a fix that only lasts

For a while

Held breath awaits the next move

Lightning dancer is laying the groove

Cool thunder comes riding the flash

Becoming storm predator can't pass



Within the grasp of the fiery feather

There is a thread

That pulls it together

In the chasm between motive and intent

There is a thread

That pulls it together



Somewhere between darkness and light

A shadow where nothing knows right

Some place at the cross and a dream

Someone is dirty the image unclean



Material junkies hold out hands

Praying hard for a better deal

Card holder smiles and shuffles away

His luck just gets better each day
