When the road is smelling like rain
And walking is making you smile
Love and hate are one and the same
When everyone loves you for a little while

When recurrence is an eternal drag
No judge no jury just trial
The corners of my mouth start to sag
When everyone loves you for a little while

The devout are all filled with the grain
Bottles have become the denial
What a glorious drunken refrain
Singing everyone loves me for a little while

Words are mere feats for the eye
You still gotta run your own mile
There's only so much to signify
By saying everyone loves you for a little while

Denial just replies to the force
You cannot revolt in single file
Answers take you further from the source
When everyone loves you for a little while

The dew on the grass is the tears
Of those who must cry for the wild
It will all be gone in the morning
When everyone loves you for a little while

Shadows create false in betweens
Like that between mother and child
Falling is just what was seen
When everyone loves you for a little while

When the energy threatens to fade
From those that you've sworn to defile
The waters are too deep to wade
When everyone loves you for a little while
