Analysis of That's Just God's Spell On You



if you've got a heavy heart
you've gotta stop
letting your fate get torn apart
or your golden soul
will get burned out
and just plain rot

if you've got a happy heart
you've gotta drop
your wisdom and listen
to the wild silver fox
you've gotta take a chance and hop
abroad the black diamond yacht

if you've got a hammer heart
maybe that's just god
giving you one more shot
to get into the new paradise
but you're just so paralyzed
cause you're ships' stuck at the docks

if you don't got any heart
you're just trapped in a paradox
and you cant find the locks
you're still in a state of shock
and your soul is twisted in a knot
don't give in, just give it everything you got
