Lucinda Williams What If Lyrics

Shut every thing
What it would mean
It's a present [Incomprehensible]
If a prostitute was queen

What would happen then
How would the world change
If sick became sane
And the world was rearranged

The rains brought down the moon
And daylight was fear
And the sun rose too soon
And then just disappeared

If dogs became kings
And the pope [Incomprehensible]
And hobos had wings
And God was a bone

If houses became trees
And flowers turned to stone
And there were no families
And people lived alone

If buildings started laughing And windows cried
And feet started clapping
An owl came in sight

If mountains fell in slivers
And the sky began to bleed
And blood filled up the rivers
And prisoners were free

If the stars fell apart
And the ocean dried up
And the world was one big heart
And decided to start

If children grew up happier
And they could run with the wolves
And they never felt trapped or
Or hungry or unloved

If cats walked on water
And birds sat [Incomprehensible]
And we loved one other
In equal amounts
