Margaritas at the Mall - Purple Mountains

Drawn up all my findings

And I warn you they are candid

My every day begins

With reminders I’ve been stranded on this

Planet where I’ve landed

Beneath this gray as granite sky

A place I wake up blushing like I’m ashamed to be alive

How long can a world go on under such a subtle god?

How long can a world go on with no new word from God?

See the plod of the flawed individual looking for a nod from God

Trodding the sod of the visible with no new word from God

We’re just drinking margaritas at the mall

That’s what this stuff adds up to after all

Magenta, orange, acid green

Peacock blue and burgundy

Drinking margaritas at the mall

Standing in the shadows of the signpost on the road

50 gates of understanding, 49 are closed

Yes, I guess this time I really hit that number on the nose

What I’d give for an hour with the power on the throne

How long can a world go on under such a subtle god?

How long can a world go on with no new word from God?

See the plod of the flawed individual looking for a nod from God

Trodding the sod of the visible with no new word from God

We’re just drinking margaritas at the mall

This happy hour’s got us by the balls

Magenta, orange, acid green

Peacock blue and burgundy

Drinking margaritas at the mall

We’re drinking margaritas at the mall

Drinking margaritas at the mall
