Anthony D’Amato - Oh My Goodness lyrics

Oh my goodness don't run deep
It just floats there like a leaf
On the surface of a pond
Bad ideas and dirty thoughts

Oh my goodness is an act
The polaroid photograph
And if you hold your head just right
You find an old trick of light

Oh my goodness is a show I hope you'll see
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee

Oh my goodness is a trap
A hollow horse I carved from scrap
Now it sit's outside and wait's
In the shadow of your city gates

Oh my goodness is a curse
Satin black, cadillac hearse
Now I'm riding​ in the back
Cause it's more comfortable like that

Oh my goodness is a storm over the sea
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee

Oh my goodness is a lock
Ribbons tied to hide the marks
Now it's perched up in a tree
Raining shit down underneath

Oh my goodness is a glass
Let us praise the empty half
Cause nothing ever gets it's due
And nothing's all we have to lose

Oh my goodness is a kiss upon the cheek
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee

Oh my goodness is a bead
Just a broken rosary
And now you've ruined it for prayer
You have to bury it somewhere

Oh my goodness is a rope
Wrapped around my head and throat
Now I'm hanging by a thread
Just wondering what that hangman said

He said my goodness is the
Fire which we breathe
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee

Oh my goodness picked the locks
Now it's hunted like a fox
In the moonlight looking
With the hound dogs on his trail

Oh my goodness is a rag
Thrown above me like a flag
Soaked in gasoline and tears
It's been burning there for years

Oh my goodness is a show I hope you'll see
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee
Oh my goodness is a man I'll never be
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness is for thee
