Sheba

Well she walks down the busiest streets

Like an African Queen

And she makes a good living from strangers

Wherever she's been

She's always got a drink on somebody's bill

And lives in a house up on a hill

And nobody knows when she's coming

But they know that she will

It's a long long way we've come

From a darker day

Well they took all the fun out of it

But people like it that way

There are things on the news now testing your faith

Maybe it's good

And maybe it ain't

Everybody once was a sinner

And now they're all saints

I know

I think about it all the time though

There's nothing really for me to hold on to

I'm taking the days as they come

I'm right here

Stuck between a dream and a nightmare

Praying for the day when it all comes clear

I'm barely just holding my ground

Til Sheba comes down

Well she draws out the rags and riches

Wherever she goes

And she knows what it's like to live out

In Emperor's clothes

She's practiced in the arts of magic and such

Ancient blue eyes, electric touch

I got to look away when I see her

It hurts me so much

I know

I think about it all the time though

There's nothing really for me to hold on to

I'm taking the days as they come

I'm right here

Stuck between a dream and a nightmare

Praying for the day when it all comes clear

I'm barely just holding my ground

Til Sheba comes down
