lyrics

I saw a very good man doing a very bad thing.
I saw water flow up hill and the dead living
fuller lives than you or I could ever conceive.
I saw a very bad man doing a very good thing.

(whoa, whoa)
A hunger we all feed,
The most consistent thing
is inconsistency,
and it's had to have it easy.

Swimming in molasses
yeah, you're drowning in gold
and you know, you know you wont grow
crawling from the cushions
yeah you're fleeing from the feast
it's so hard to have it easy.

No Goliath, but you've got the stones
and they weigh you down wherever you go.
When you've no need for the cards up your sleeve
you're bound to get paper cuts.

A hunger we all feed,
the most consistent thing
is inconsistency
it's hard to have it easy.

When I say "Jump"
you say "how high?"
But now when I say "Jump"
you ask "Why?"

A hunger we all feed,
the most consistent thing
is inconsistency,
and it's hard to have it easy.

When I say "Jump"
you say "how high?"

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday. This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26
