Sugar-Coated Half-Truths

By Indi Riverflow | October 4, 2014

I’m not trying to run for sainthood
Nor vying for a Nobel prize
I plan to be good and misunderstood
Accidentally canonized

My miracles are mighty meager
Y’all better bring your own wine
Yes, I’ve been known to walk on water
But only in the winter time

{Chorus}
Sugar-coated half-truths
Go better with a shaker of salt
And if you wind up in Heaven
It ain’t gonna be my fault
You can thank yourself later
Do us both a favor
And be your own savior

Wouldn’t be caught dead in chain-mail
No, knighthood is not for me
Not on a hunt for some bloody Grail
And I say leave the dragons be

I harbor no political ambitions
You won’t see me on campaign signs
The After-Party is my affiliation
And if nominated I’ll decline

{Chorus}

Oh I’ll serve my head on a platter
If that’s what the Muses crave
For the love of what truly matters
Carried away in the carrier waves

Just a Mariachi for your courtships
Playing in this moment you designed
Songs on my lips as I’m gathering tips
And leaving a little peace on my mind
