"He's up there, crying and I know those tears aren't real."
"How do you know?"
"They just can't be. I mean, because he was up there preaching about all this stuff, and then, turned doin' it, you know and and..."
"But couldn't his tears of repentance be real?"

The heart of man is an orchid
The heart of man is the open gulch itself
The heart of man is the Seventh Gate of Hell
The heart of man is the crushed horse's tail
The heart of man is a furnace

The heart of man is an orchid
The heart of man is the open gulch itself

The heart of man is impossible to hold
One is not enough
Love is not enough
No one is enough
The heart of man is impossible to hold
One is not enough
No one is enough
No love is enough
The heart of man is unbearable to hold
No one is enough
No one is enough
One is not enough
The heart of man is impossible to hold
