lyrics

Jesus

there are clothes in every corner there are secrets lost in time/ there’s a riddle on your lips while jesus waits outside/ swimming through the white noise fakers fight to feel alive the house at night looks empty but the killer waits inside/ all your family’s gold is buried in the backyard/ all your father’s suits are hanging in the thrift store/ and jesus is not the lone forgotten one/ yeah jesus and a million bastard sons/ i bought a flashlight from a gypsy at a midnight corner store/ lit out on the freeway but i did not escape the war/ spotlight interrogation on an eastern texas road/ the free world lies before you but it’s future has been sold/ all your family’s gold is buried in the backyard/ all your father’s suits are hanging in the thrift store/ and jesus is not the lone forgotten one/ yeah jesus and a million bastard sons/ the policeman don’t care nothing for the magic that you see/ when you’re face down in an alley in a city built by machines/ sleeping like a baby in the perfect dark serene/ sleeping like a baby but you don’t know what it means
