lyrics

Burn down the church, cut the telephone wire
Tear down the steeple, bury the choir
You worship old poems, you're rotten on the vine
Feeling self important, feeling so inspired

Look at all the people trying to understand
How old river Moses met the steel driving man
He worked for his pension and saved for old age
He burned up his bridges, he gave it all away

Did he part the sea
or did he lay it down and go to sleep?
Did he fall to his knees
or did he pack his shit and leave?

Wish it hadn't been so simple this time
Singing "Hallelujah" going out of our mind
Hands up, praying for redemption on a dime
Begging for a mercy rule into overtime

We deserve to melt
Fold in on ourself
We deserve to go to hell
To dissolve, evaporate and swell

In love with nothing, least of all yourself
Restless, impatient, waiting on my shelf
Solving your riddles and wasting your time
Eating up your riches and drinking your wine

When it gets too steep
You should probably try to join the winning team
When you go to sleep dream of anything but me
