Myrrh

[Verse 1]
Emerald haunt in overdrive
Nightmare descent into Jericho city
Camel dust heralds our arrival
New Christ beneath the drumkit moon

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Lord, we are threatened again
In the slipstream pull of the federal men
Plummet in some seamless night
Down here to Earth, it's hopeless then

[Verse 2]
Apache gunman in the boiling crowd
Who never got to meet you last time
We're interrupted by the telephone
You didn't think they were invented then

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Lord, we need miracles
We need more wine and gold
We need slaves and roads and personal favors
We need microphones and manifolds

[Chorus]
How can you be so invisible?
Give me the nerves to see
Privilege on privilege
An unwanted discovery

[Verse 3]
So now we're cruising down this shuddering highway
With a dead sun shining on my back
And we talk about the way people treat us back there
Their hollow laughter, the pain in their eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh my Lord, I trust your intentions
But money strangles our love
Struggling like a fool with my junk and my jewels
You would have thought I'd had enough

[Chorus]
How can you be so invisible?
Give me the nerves to see
Privilege on privilege
An unwanted discovery

[Chorus]
How can you be so invisible?
Give me the nerves to see
Privilege on privilege
An unwanted discovery
