[Verse 1: Kevin Devine]
Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
If they don't put me away
Well, it’ll be a miracle
Do you believe you're missing out?
Everything good is happening somewhere else
With nobody in your bed
The night is hard to get through
[Chorus 1: Jesse Lacey & Kevin Devine]
And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won’t know anyone
[Verse 2: Jesse Lacey]
Jesus Christ, I’m alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Because this problem's gonna last
More than the weekend
Well Jesus Christ, I’m not scared to die
I’m a little bit scared of what comes after
Did you get the gold chariot
Did you float through the ceiling
[Chorus 2: Jesse Lacey & Kevin Devine]
Do I divide and pull apart
'Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
And this ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?
He wants to see my hands
He wants to see my hands
[Bridge: Jesse Lacey & Kevin Devine]
I know you're coming in the night like a thief
But I’ve had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I’m someone you can trust
I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up
So do you think that we could work out a sign
So I’ll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try
I know you're coming for the people like me
We all got wood and nails
Turn, turn out hate in factories
We all got wood and nails
Turn, turn out hate in factories
We all got wood and nails
We sleep inside of this machine
Jesus was written by Jesse Lacey.
