Five years without God
Pray you to me every chance that you can
Pray you to me every chance that you can
Asking forgiveness
begging to save your skin
But left wandering in fear
Will it be death or a routine
wrist slapping
Confusion in fusion with
bone dry love
Battered and shattered you
lay her down gently
Violent fucker
sinful man
finding safe haven is hard for the cad
But warm arms will welcome you back
Given the chance he will
bring you to him
Though I claim to believe
I am hard pressed to be kind
Mindful to the faults of a man
I cross myself over, and over, and
over again
Lord, Lord
Hosanas and haleluias
Lord, Lord
I'm doing the best that I can
You ask me to stay
channel the love
Little black and white conduits
Sisters and brothers and Fathers
pray to dead mothers above
Love me in death and I'll love you in life
and we pray
Wanting to leave but I think I'll be damned
so I stay
You ask me to come
And I'm longing to go
But the bells in the church tower
are tolling for me
You ask me to come
And I'm begging to go
But the bells in the church tower
are tolling you know.
