vigilantes of love - drunk on the tears lyrics
i been eating
the fare of the wicked men
under the guise
of sophistication
it’s poisoned my senses
and my sight needs correction
it’s bad for my bowels
and my general complexion
it’s been my staple
for so many years
it’s hard to taste the wine
when you’re drunk on the tears
hey, we got new ways
to treat the soul
that succ-mbs
electroshock and valium
the 20th century
you don’t need salvation
we got chemists dedicated
to your recreation
nicole works the streets
for 12 hours a day
she don’t charge much
for what she’ll trade away
in a few short years
her business will fade
that’s what happens
with the tools of the trade
jim and tammy
and reverend swaggart
they don’t look like jesus
and they’re a whole lot fatter
don’t miss the truth
for a stupid sideshow
don’t confuse the cup
with the contents it holds
god, i need a drink
and i need one fast
make it a strong one
one that’ll last
have you got anything
that’s been selling brisk
for a soul diagnosed
at a terminal risk?
jesus, lover of my soul
let me to thy bosom fly
i’m so weak, and i’m so cold
and the lambs in the west
so speedily die
alibis roll off my tongue
i’m looking for ruins to hide among
i got a soul piled high to excess
with the wonderfully useless
and the frivolous
the praise due
your name evades my lips
there’s no helping hand
on my fingertips
i used to be someone
now i’m not worth a sh-t
i got a truckload of things
i’m trying to forget
since back in the garden
on the first page
something about the cradle
to the grave
the promise is broken
more promises made
all in the image
i’ve so defaced
played out
on the pages of history
dripping in blood
that flows from a tree
where the father and son
part company
come back together
for you and me
i don’t know why you did it
what was your motivation?
crucifixion’s not
a cool sensation
you had something to say
and you started to speak
the cross is the place
for your coronation speech
