Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine

Lyrics
Im trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing youve ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
Its only life after all
Yeah

Well darkness has a hunger thats insatiable
And lightness has a call thats hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
Im crawling on your shores

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Theres more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
(the less I seek my source)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine

And I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a b-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Theres more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
(the less I seek my source)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine

I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as Id been the night before
And I went in seeking clarity.

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Yeah we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountains
Yeah we go to the bible, we go through the workout
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
Theres more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
(the less I seek my source)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine

I've said it before and I'll say it again! You don't have to be gay to love the Indigo Girls! OMG! Do any of you listen to Judas Priest? Do any of you listen to Queen? Did that make you gay? Sick of people being afraid of others when there is no reason to fear them! Open your hearts and open your minds! Learn to understand, for Pete's sake! People can't help being gay any more than they can help being born with green eyes or blond hair!

It's a classic for everyone, Dear.

@981Phil HEY! I've lost count of how many times I've seen them. Seriously. Seeing them again this month, in fact! Oh hell...we'll never figure this place out. There will always be loons who think they have all the answers and the fact is that none of us knows anything for sure. :/

@hippygypsy the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine. Yeah.

Best sing ever, by the best band ever!

Love you girls.

@hippygypsy Hey girl - I'm a 55 yr old straight guy and I've been a fan since they showed up in the early 80's> Seen them in concert twice ( wish it was twenty times.) The incredible lyrics, the trick harmonies, that soothing, earthy sound of an acoustic guitar..... Who can't be spellbound by this? What's happened to America? Real freedom means nobody judges or even cares what you do in your own home. How did this country get so twisted that owning guns is ok, but privacy isn't

Hey hippygypsy - I'm a 55 yr old straight guy and have been a fan since they showed up in the early 80's. The lyrics, the trick harmonies..... UNREAL!
