Lyrics
Goodness came playing at recklessness' game
Goodness is engaging in reckless behavior
And Cain can question his name
Cain questions his identity
Jonah's out fishin' for kraken
Jonah is searching for mythical sea creatures
And Job's just destroyed
Job is experiencing devastation
The snake's are all singing songs to maiden's
Snakes are metaphorically singing to maidens
That Mary's just whistle away
Mary's presence has a calming effect
Magdalene knows how deep it goes
Mary Magdalene understands profound depths
When the way gets carried away
Challenges arise when the path goes astray
When the way gets carried away
Repetition emphasizes challenges in the journey
Goodness came playing at recklessness' game
Reiteration of goodness in reckless scenarios
Said, “The grass will be greener when your dead”
Provocative statement about life after death
And the colors all started to fade
Colors fade as life loses vitality
And your life's recalling life
Reflecting on one's own life experiences
Christ does carnivorous carnival tricks
Christ performs surprising and paradoxical acts
When everyone needs a little wine
Wine symbolizes solace in difficult times
But as long as the word is written in the dirt
Words in the dirt attract inevitable imperfections
It's bound to attract some grime
The written word may gather impurities
The good Lord stole Himself a week
The divine takes a break despite maternal warnings
His mama said, “Don't you dare”
Mother advises against divine actions
He smote her and said, “Let the good in this be dead”
Divine intervention leads to destruction of goodness
And the world shook from His head
World experiences upheaval from divine decisions
Now the snakes have all returned to sing
Snakes return, symbolizing deceit or transformation
And sneak around in key
Snakes are subtly and craftily present
They color this in by cluing us in
Clues provided by snakes color the narrative
And I think I hear them say
Snakes communicate a mysterious message
Goodness came playing at recklessness' game
Goodness engages in reckless behavior again
And the way got carried away
The path deviates, facing unforeseen consequences
Goodness came playing at recklessness' game
Reiteration of goodness in reckless scenarios
And the way got carried away, way got carried away
The consequences escalate and take control
