Mark Heard - Nobody's Looking lyrics

You can look at the headlines And like what you've read You can look in the mirror at the hole in your head You can glance at the humdrum Moonland in tandem Fire handguns at random You can entice the lightning Lure in the lies You can look for Delilah with red-hot pokers in your eyes You can hunt down a witness Beg for forgiveness Plead that your heartbeat cease You can do what you want to Go ahead, won't nobody call the police You can wait for the hubub Wait for disgrace You can wait for the flood with an ark in your parking place You can wait to be grateful Hate to be hateful Fail to be faithful You can pray for a victory Or someone's defeat You can pray that the tanks never roll down your street You can count all your blessings Shout ‘til your ears ring Doubt ‘til your clothes cling You can pray if you want to Go ahead, nobody's looking but God You can wink at the Pharaoh Dance with the Queen Be nice to the nice guys and mean to the mean in your dreams You can fence with a windmill Surf in a seashell Hide in a hotel You can love one another Or negotiate You can love all the things that you manage to hate You can tug on the heartstrings Shrug ‘til the phone rings Or love ‘til your heart stings You can love if you want to Go ahead, nobody's looking but God
