[Verse 1]
I have a tale to tell about a girl whose soul was screwed
She was born into a life with everything to lose
Her father sold her to the trade when she was just a child
She was seventeen and never ever learned to smile
She took a bullet and she blew out her brains
She didn't say goodbye, she just went away
And I was missing her, I wish she was here
Her name was Angel and she'd had a bad year
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So you wanna call me the devil's advocate
But you don't know the half of it
'Cause I was raised to believe in miracles
But life is so cold
[Chorus]
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
He disappeared
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
He disappeared
[Verse 2]
What's the point of screaming out if no one gives a damn?
What's the point of reaching out if no one lends a hand?
She had passed the point where there was nothing left to give
She was seventeen and never ever learned to live
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So you wanna call me the devil's advocate
But you don't know the half of it
'Cause I was raised to believe in miracles
But life is so cold
[Chorus]
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
He disappeared
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
He disappeared
[Bridge]
She needed an angel to love
But no one sent her an angel
She needed an angel to love her
But no one sent her an angel
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And you wanna call me the devil's advocate
When you don't know the half of it
I hate how I was raised to believe in miracles
'Cause life is so cold
And you wanna call me the devil's advocate
But you don't know the half of it
I hate how I was raised to believe in miracles
'Cause life is so cold and
[Chorus]
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
He disappeared
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
Where did Jesus go?
He disappeared
