Your Obstacle

from The Punchbowl Sessions by Andrew Newton

/

about

A song written just after Pope John Paul II died, but only a little bit about him.

lyrics

I have seen that look
In your eyes only once before
You say that everything's alright
But there's a fire inside.
When I see that look
The cold fog and rain can't calm it down
The church bells are ringing
A change has come around.

Every day I see it clear
Like the start of another year
Keep them satisfied.
Set me up, I'm coming back
Like the start of a heart attack
Keep them satisfied.

Clock is getting loud
Like a drum in a hurricane
And the beat is getting faster
But the winds are only slowing down.
The roads are dry but the path is clean
You still fill your lungs with gasoline
Am I your obstacle
Or just an easy way out?
