Ain't Gonna Figure It Yet

(album: Many Moods Of Moses - 1997)

I'm brave, but I'm shaking
I'm near, yet I'm far
I don't believe in civilization
But yet still I drive a car
I'm crippled, but I'm walking
I'm freed, yet I'm barred
I don't believe in hard work
But yet still I have a farm

Oh, look what it all comes down to
You ain't gonna figure it yet
Till you got one hand full of ashes
And the other one is putting your soul to rest

I'm broke, but I'm still spending
I'm poor, but I'm kind
I'm a sinner, yet I'm an angel
I'm leading, but I'm behind
I'm dumb, but I'm talking
I'm seeing, yet I'm blind
I'm dull, but I'm still shinning
I'm alive, but I can die

Oh, look what it all comes down to
You ain't gonna figure it yet
Till you got one hand full of ashes
And the other one is putting your soul to rest

I ain't hungry, but I'm dining
I hate liquor, but I'm drinking wine
I'm puzzled to be crowned king
I'm the law, but I do crime
I'm cool, but I'm vicious
I'm a fool, but I'm wise
I'm a politician, but I'm not voting
I guess this is the end of my line

Oh, look what it all comes down to
You ain't gonna figure it yet
Till you got one hand full of ashes
And the other one is putting your soul to rest

Oh, look what it all comes down to
You ain't gonna figure it yet
Till you got one hand full of ashes
And the other one is putting your soul to rest

Yeah, I'm sad, but I'm happy
And I'm not gonna loose my mind
It's late, but it's so early
And I wonder what's the time

Oh, look what it all comes down to
You ain't gonna figure it yet
Till you got one hand full of ashes
And the other one is putting your soul to rest

Oh, look what it all comes down to
You ain't gonna figure it yet
Till you got one hand full of ashes
And the other one is putting your soul to rest
