Mouths of Babes - Faith & Fumes lyrics

I'm just a line through a square On the wall hangin' there Countin' favors, countin' pennies Countin' prayers So my mama told me how to do You gotta get by on faith & fumes I make a livin' it's been said On livin' in the red Til I'm famous, til I'm sober Til I'm dead It's the price you pay for lovin' what you do You gotta get by on faith & fumes Faith & fumes Cause when you got nothin' You got nothin' to lose Yeah You say "you can't go through life with the gas light on, girl" But I swear if I hold out a little longer Big ol' ship gonna sail my way And I'll sleep soundly in this bed I made When the best part of the bills are paid Ancient history are the days Of the hands at 10 & 2 With both eyes closed Always prayin' for a downhill to coast To coast I know I said I'd call today But please believe me when I say That I can taste your tears 3000 miles away This picture on the nightstand just won't do Someday I swear I'm gonna make it up to you Til then, we'll get by on faith & fumes Faith & fumes Cause when you got nothin' You got nothin' to lose Yeah I'm just a line through a square On the wall hangin' there Countin' favors, countin' pennies Countin' prayers
