Everything's Fine Songtext
von Alice Ripley

I can′t deny the feeling rotten
The daily beatings I have gotten
But this ain't really what I had in mind
Living a lie is what′s at stake here
My battered smile will surely take care
To tell my story and to make it rhyme
Everything's fine
Everything's fine

Picking up the scattered pieces
Of what is left of my belief in Jesus
Oh, I could sell it all to you for a dime
A little bruised, a little breaking
A cheek has turned to constant aching
This execution sure is taking its time
Yet everything′s fine
Everything′s fine


I lay my head on a dusty pillow
And dream of all the joy that still holds me
And you won't be there when it comes time
The shadowed silence that surrounds us
The hungry dogs of hell that hound us
We′ll someday be six feet under when it comes time

Every word cuts to the bone
I'm sifting through these sticks and stones
And I′m barefoot out in the moonlight looking for a sign
When I reach in and feel my tremor
Only then do I remember
There's an angel somewhere dangling a line
Oh, there′s an angel somewhere dangling a line
(There's my angel)

When I wake up in the middle of the night
The headboard is on fire
Though the sheets are tugged around me tight
I hold on to my hand
And I call upon a childhood prayer
And I tell myself there must be an angel somewhere
There's an angel somewhere dangling a line

Everything′s fine
Everything′s fine
Everything's fine
Everything′s fine
