(Building Up A) Tolerance Lyrics

I've seen a conquered heart come back to life

Set a record that beat the cat

I felt mine revive at least fifteen times

Before I realized where it was at

I'm building up a tolerance

To meeting crisis at the door

I'm only asking you to honor it

If I don't answer anymore

I've seen a conquered heart splayed out on the rug

Wincing and gasping for air

Until the glowing fume escaped from his lungs

Reanimating lost love that wasn't there

I'm building up a tolerance

To meeting crisis at the door

I'm only asking you to honor it

When I don't answer anymore

I've seen an angel twist fate on a fork

And put the cart before the horse

I've seen a pitcher fill up as it poured

And now I've seen a heart beat backwards

I'm building up a tolerance

To meeting crisis at the door

I'm only asking you to honor it

If I happen to show up a little late
