Why Should It Be That a Man Gets Bored
Despite the warmness of the welcome
It ends in hostels capped with snow
Despite the patience of the wives
when children fight and won't let go
Despite the bar room's sweet reception
Where we refill with bitter wine
Why should it be that a man gets bored?
Despite the village lying peaceful
Beneath the trembling chapel bells
But the does the Devil sleep beneath the Bible?
Does the King know how to pray?
Despite the village lying peaceful
From wide of door to wide of sleep
Why should it be that a man gets bored?
In spite of all that's left to dream
In spite of all that's left to know
And all the wolves still left to slay
And all the springtimes left to taste
Yet in despair or desperation
There's still so much left to surprise
So why should it be that a man gets bored?
Despite our willingness to cheat
To be a spade and play the heart
To face the fear and play again
To be a devil and play a flower
Although it helps that time move faster
Cause you're about dark in an hour
So why should it be that a man gets bored?
It ends in hostels capped with snow
Despite the patience of the wives
when children fight and won't let go
Despite the bar room's sweet reception
Where we refill with bitter wine
Why should it be that a man gets bored?
Despite the village lying peaceful
Beneath the trembling chapel bells
But the does the Devil sleep beneath the Bible?
Does the King know how to pray?
Despite the village lying peaceful
From wide of door to wide of sleep
Why should it be that a man gets bored?
In spite of all that's left to dream
In spite of all that's left to know
And all the wolves still left to slay
And all the springtimes left to taste
Yet in despair or desperation
There's still so much left to surprise
So why should it be that a man gets bored?
Despite our willingness to cheat
To be a spade and play the heart
To face the fear and play again
To be a devil and play a flower
Although it helps that time move faster
Cause you're about dark in an hour
So why should it be that a man gets bored?
