roofcat, sittin’ on a cotton house rooftop
starin’, making faces at me
(and I said) roofcat, why don’t you just come down?
come down, so you can see what we can see

roofcat, sittin’ on a cotton house rooftop
always starin’, always yellin' at me
(And I said) roofcat, what you tryin’ to hide now?
hidin’ means you can never be free like me

II
savior, up upon the hillside
tell me what you’re trying to say
(oh) savior, why don’t you just come down
we both know,we're not listening anyway

savior, beaten from the battle
was it worth it; the pain they put you through?
oh, savior, what you tryin’ to prove now?
you died, yet they deny you

(bridge)
it’s too much just to wait and see
what the pages of your story have in store for me
how can it be so hard to simply recognize
I die inside, every time you and I say goodbye

(solo)

III
darlin’, standin’ in the mornin’ rainfall
come in, don’t just stand out in the storm
darlin’, you let him do it to you
tell him: you don’t need him any more

darlin’, your stare is like a razor
I can feel it cut me, like a sword through the sky
oh, darlin’, a torrid flame consumes me
your black dress in the heat of July
