Patty Griffin - Mad Mission lyrics

rate me

We were drinking like the irish

But we were drinking scotch

Bartender turned on a movie

Everybody turned to watch

And every single eye was gleaming

As he reached the final scene

Wellat least mine did

Here's lookin' at youkid

It's a mad mission

Under difficult conditions

Not everybody makes it

To the loving cup

It's a mad mission

But I got the ambition

Madmad mission

Sign me up

I think I've seen the look beforeyes

It's kind of non-commital

It says come hitherbabybut then he's hard wood to whittle

It says it don't mean a thingbut stillsomebody does

He'd like you to join the club that likes to say

There's no such thing as love and

It's a mad mission

Under difficult conditions

Not everybody makes it

To the loving cup

It's a mad mission

But I got the ambition

Madmad mission

Sign me up

Sometimes you find yourself

Flying low at night

Flying blind and looking for

Any sign of light

You're cold and scaredand all alone

You'd do anything just to make it home

It's a mad mission

Under difficult conditions

Not everybody makes it

To the loving cup

It's a mad mission

But I got the ambition

Madmad mission

Sign me up

Sign me up
