Pretend Friend - Moving Pictures Lyrics

Oh it's the law of nature baby
Can't you see
I got what I need and it sure ain't free
Well I spend my days counting time
Waiting on comfort to arrive
You know some believe we're a moving picture
Others say we're fulfilling scripture
Oh no
I believe in a destination
But I believe in long vacation
Oh well Jesus was a carpenter
He knew the hammer and nail
That's for sure
So that's my religion man
I can relate to working long hours on a summer's day
You know some believe we're a moving picture
Others say we're fulfilling scripture
Oh no
I believe in a destination
But I believe in long vacation
Hold yourself upright
Be the natural state of your bones
Work until your back is strong enough to stand alone
Baby don't you stay and wait on the ringing of the phone
Don't you fear wisdom is both your friend and foe
Oh God I don't want to know
Well when I feel the weight of eternity
I practice better empathy
And when loneliness is killing me
I pay better attention to my company
You know some believe we're a moving picture
Others say we're fulfilling scripture
Oh no
I believe in a destination
But I believe in long vacation
Hold yourself upright
Be the natural state of your bones
Work until your back is strong enough to stand alone
Baby don't stay and wait on the ringing of the phone
Don't you fear wisdom is both your friend and foe
Oh God I don't want to know
