Faster

Well I know it isn't easy
What a Devil's got to do
Sometimes hell is freezing
And the souls all laugh at you
Sometimes a fallen angel
Comes stumbling in
And the sunlight of a stranger
Can erase the dark of sin

Well I paint the face of danger
And I planned the whole event
For a baby in a manger
But I don't know where he went
So I'm searching for his footprints
Out in the snow
You know I'd ask his father
But where'd that old man go?

Growing undefined
Faster and faster
The speed of your cancer
And of human kind
Faster and faster
The speed of your cancer
Like an airline disaster
Why won't you answer me?

And I know it can't be pretty
What a preacher's got to do
Pitch a slogan to a city
And pretend you think it's true
Should we sacrifice the living
For the benefit of the dead?
Or give the gift that keeps on giving
And see the bigger truth instead

Growing undefined
Faster and faster
The speed of your cancer
And of human kind
Faster and faster
The speed of your cancer
Like an airline disaster
Why won't you answer me?

Well I've been acting supernatural
I've gotten into the unknown
I've got a phantom in my bathroom
And a werewolf on the phone
And the captain's in the kitchen
Cooking up some crime
I've abandoned television
For a vision in my mind

Growing undefined
Faster and faster
The speed of your cancer
Could be the end of human kind
Faster and faster
The speed of your cancer
Like an airline disaster
Why won't you answer me?
