Move the Needle Lyrics

Desensitize my tired eyes

Ring out my heart

I'd look away, I'd close the blinds

but watching a trainwreck

won't save lives

In God we trust

Call it luck

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

I'd short the bond

While I still can

Then go with grace

While the world ends

I'm getting my friends high

But we could be much higher

Stomp out all the flames

But I'd risk catching fire

Oh, Oh

Oh

God knows that I love the people

But what hell would move the needle

Oh, Oh

Oh

God knows that I love the people

But what hell would move the needle

I rest my head on dirty sheets

I stay in bed but I can't sleep

My active minds now asking to me

To pick my news or pick my peace

And I want to, want to, want it more (up)

To find a freedom I could die

For, Lord, I want love

In a place where happiness is not a warm gun

I'm getting my friends are getting high

But we could be much higher

Stomp out all the flames

But I kinda like being on fire

Oh, Oh

Oh

God knows that I love the people

But what hell would move the needle

Oh, Oh

Oh

God knows that I love the people

But what hell would move the needle

Can't feel the bloodstream

Can't feel the bloodstream

I can see you drowning

take it with a chaser

I know it's in your nature

My friends are getting high

But we could be so much higher

CHORUS

Oh, Oh

Oh

God knows that I love the people

But what hell would move the needle

Oh, Oh

Oh

God knows that I love the people

But what hell would move the needle
