Soon our fortunes will be made, my darling And we will leave this loathsome little town Silver bells jingling from your black lizard boots, my baby
Silver foil to trim your wedding gown
It´s true, the tools of love wear down, time passes A mind wanders, it seems mindless, but it does Sometimes I see your face as if through reading glasses And your smile seems softer than it was
Proof, some people gonna call you up Tell you something that you already know Proof, sane people go crazy on you Say ´´no man, that´s not the deal we made, I got to go, I got to go´´ Faith, faith is an island in the setting sun But proof, yes, proof is the bottom line for everyone
My face, my race, don´t matter anymore My sex, my checks accepted at the door
Proof, some people gonna call you up Tell you something that you already know Proof, sane people go crazy on you Say ´´no man, that´s not the deal we made, I got to go, I got to go´´ Faith, my faith is an island in the setting sun But proof, yes, proof is the bottom line for everyone
Half moon hiding in the clouds, my darling And the sky is flecked with signs of hope Raise your weary wings against the rain, my baby
Wash your tangled curls with gambler´s soap
Proof, some people gonna call you up Tell you something that you already know Proof, sane people go crazy on you Say ´´no man, that´s not the deal we made, I got to go, I got to go´´ Faith, my faith is an island in the setting sun But proof, yes, proof is the bottom line for everyone
