there's another bruce springsteen (god made this mess) - frank tedesso lyrics
[verse 1]
there’s another bruce springsteen and he is my super
he mops the halls and drags the trash out to the front stoop
he’s got a leaky pipe and a belly like babe ruth
only he don’t hit the long ball any more like he used to
[verse 2]
well, he chases rats with a two*by*four
he’s got an old guy’s ache for maria on the second floor
the storm beneath her dress
the church bells of a christian name
he knows most dreams don’t come true
oh, but you dream ’em just the same…
[chorus]
god made this mess and it makes me happy
though i know it won’t make sense ’til we’re dead and buried
every night i melt into the darkness
and every morning there is a wedding in the hollow of my chest
and i wake to the fat lady singing that sad old song, yeah
that god made this mess, god made this mess
now who’s got the heart to tell him he was wrong?
[verse 3]
now this other bruce springsteen was a sailor
but he got shipwrecked on ninth avenue
and when the gypsy woman read his palm
she told him his firstborn would be king of the jews
[verse 4]
so bruce never got married
though on his arm there is a star of david tattooed
and he believes the sunlight will keep coming back again and again
even to those places where it’s been refused
[verse 5]
when he’s on the wagon he renders unto caesar
when he’s not on the wagon
he renders unto reasons that make holes in the wall
he’s got a line of sh*t for every occasion
he put twenty bucks on a horse named nancy
but he could not bring himself to vote for reagan
he looks down and smiles when you pass him in the hall…
[chorus]
and god made this mess and it makes me happy
though i know it won’t make sense ’til we’re dead and buried
every night i melt into the darkness
and every morning there is a wedding in the hollow of my chest
and i wake to the fat lady singing that sad old song, yeah
say, god made this mess, god made this mess
now who’s got the heart to tell him he was wrong?
who’s going to break his heart and tell him he was wrong?
[outro]
thank you
