Set my guitar on fire with a long-stemmed match,
Dance while it burns, and laugh when it turns to ash,
I would torch everything to keep you warm,
I would do anything to keep you from harm.
I would give anything to cover you, body and soul, girl,
I would give everything in the world to cover you,
To cover you.
Walk down a dark street, naked on a winter's night,
Run from the law like the Sunday I saw the light,
To defend you your spirit, I would go to war,
I would chase the devil to Jehovah's door.
I would do anything to cover you, body and soul, girl,
Oh, I would give everything in the world to cover you,
I would do anything to wrap you up tight on a cold night,
And I would give everything that I have to cover you,
To cover you.
I would do anything to cover you, body and soul, girl,
Oh, I would give everything in the world to cover you,
To cover you, to cover you.
(Thankyou)
(Thankyou, guys, for being so kind to us. You know we're...thankyou. We never know, you know, we don't play much anymore; in fact it's bee a year since we played - so it could be the last time we play, we don't know, so... Anyway, but we did do a new record really recently, we had a really good time doing that. Did you know that we were the first band ever to play Cornerstone? 1984, on the side stage, Thursday at noon - the very first band ever to play this festival. Anyway, we're gonna do one song from the new record, we gonna attempt it. We wrote it about a friend of ours, everybody...everybody knew Gene in a different way. You know, he's a very enigmatic person, so I wrote it on behalf of all of us. I took a lot of it from a eulogy that Dan Michaels had written, that he had read at Gene's memorial, and ah...)
