The boy who cried wolf

I've been called the boy who cried wolf
Thinking it was love when it was just my glass half full
I jumped in some nearly empty pool
Hung around in dry fountains until I felt your pull
You washed this stinging from my hands
And I danced into your trance in the burning of autumn sand
Baby, I swear I'm on the path
Babe, I swear I'm on the path

I drove to the coast with my two favorite women
And then I prayed in tuxedo pants, I waited for my baptism
Held a conch shell up and listened
And I stared into his cup until I felt my prison shifting
Babe, I finally understand
Babe, I finally understand

Best friends and whip shine (?) reserve
She said, Go on out west.
You're running with the blizzard.
She held the hearse cords in her hand.
Like a pyramid in the promised land

Babe, I swear I understand.
Babe, I finally understand.
Babe, I finally understand.
Babe, I finally understand.
