there's truth in the gutter though it slips down the drain
and in the soaring steeple standing solo in the rain
each is worth understanding part of the human chain
each one is revealing to us comfort or pain
oh it's easy to misvalue the sacred and profane
    
and we all have a cover to keep the truth from one another
we live behind our twisted minds
afraid to bare the straight line
to our sacred heart
    
oh it's easy to misvalue the sacred and profane
    
and we all have a cover to hide the truth from one another
we live behind our twisted minds
afraid to bare the straight line
to our sacred heart
    
there's truth in the gutter though it slips down the drain
and in the soaring steeple standing solo in the rain?
