Brenda pa** the brandy to me one more time
It must have dropped another ten degrees
Wind's been screaming like a battered woman
it's a storm like i've never seen before
and life makes you walk a thin grey line
Between the living and the dead
Haven't we been waiting all our lives
To hear the angels sing inside our heads
Brenda pa** the book to me one more time
I can't recall the chapter or the verse
I guess we shouldn't really be surprised
I guess we should expect the worst
It was another black friday when the bottom dropped out
In a wall street I chanced to find a pearl
I was terminally sick at the mayo clinic
When I met this doctor with a cure
Now there's a witness in the courtroom
Of a heart in disarray
And I believe his testimonial
I would die for it this day
While the light fades from your eyes
Brenda I am in a miserable state
I wanna hold on to something strong
Trying to regain some innocence
It's been going going going going gone
And I feel just like an orphan
Knocking on the doors of a million homes
Sure I feel your arms around me
But it still don't mean I don't feel alone
