failure she's a new found friend you let her sleep on the floor 
when you rise to check out well she follows to the door 
if you listen real close there's the audible sigh 
if you look real hard you don't question why

cloth of life is torn 
cloth of life is fading so much more 
yeah it goes without saying 
yeah it goes without saying 
goes without saying

and all of these distractions and the worship of the buck 
somewhere i think we gave out at a club called "the outta-luck" 
and it was deeper than the blackness that all the blacktop holds 
we're starving for an omen and the spaces they're wide open

cloth of life is something yeah where you begin 
cloth of life is something you can wrap yourself in 
keep a candle in the window keep a fire on your hearth 
keep a prayer on your lips and keep some hope in your heart
