lyrics

“Sit down, my boy
You need to learn how to hate”
An old man told me long ago
He told me “I’ve done so much wrong
You could never know
But all of us are Christ
And we all get crucified”
And I’m starting to get what he meant when he said that
“All of us have always been dead
And when they hang me from the lamppost on Main Street
I’ll already be…”
He said with finality
A hint of a shout
“these souls are empty sinking ships
Filled up with doubt
And all of us are Christ
And we all get crucified”
And I’m starting to get what he meant when he said that
“All of us have always been dead
And when they hang me from the lamppost on Main Street
I’ll already be…”
That was the death of me
I guess we’ll finally see
When we slip under the sea
I’ll praise the sky above
And let myself fly away
And find the rest of me
And I’m starting to get what he meant when he said that
“All of us have always been dead
And when they hang me from the lamppost on Main Street
I’ll already be…”
(dead)
