Lyrics

[01:00.21] My book of Mormon
[01:03.86] Wrapped in Turin
[01:06.25] And it seems inferior and jittery
[01:14.49] You preach elastic
[01:17.87] To your jagged flock
[01:20.41] In an eerie passion for self-flattery
[01:28.48] I'm emotionally raped by Jesus
[01:32.33] I'm emotionally raped by Jesus now
[01:37.66] But I'm still here
[01:40.45] Yes, somehow I'm still here
[02:11.00] What now of my faith
[02:13.54] Just a desperate exercise to limit pain
[02:18.93] I am weak
[02:20.67] I'm emotional and sensitive and frail
[02:25.76] In need of some love
[02:27.76] Pull the cancer from the Vatican's own state
[02:33.14] Uninformed
[02:34.68] You will harbour those who nurtured Europe's War
[02:39.51] Keep turning my cheek
[02:41.75] In a fragile state of violence left me weak
[02:47.29] No guilt
[02:48.98] Hold your people in disdain and steal their grace
[07:14.17] I need replacement
[07:19.05] To feel redefined
[07:22.63] And it's just this matter of identity
[07:35.18] You preach elastic
[07:40.16] To your jagged flock
[07:43.89] It's an eerie passion for self-flattery
[07:56.90] Emotionally I'm wrapped in shame
[08:02.12] Emotionally I feel I'm raped
[08:07.45] Oh, emotionally in chains
[08:22.95] What now of my faith
[08:26.38] It's a desperate exercise to limit pain
[08:34.94] No guilt
[08:37.13] Hold your people in disdain and steal their grace
[08:44.26] Keep turning my cheek
[08:47.64] I'm emotional and sensitive and weak
[08:55.90] Uninformed
[08:58.25] You have harboured those who nurtured Europe's War
