|
Feels like you're miles from here |
|
In other towns with lesser names |
|
Where the unholy ghost doesn't tell |
|
Mary or William exactly what they want to hear |
|
You remember the house on Ridge Road |
|
Told you and the devil to both just leave me alone |
|
If this is salvation, I can show you the trembling |
|
You'll just have to trust me, I'm scared |
|
I am the patron saint of lost causes |
|
Aren't we all to you just near lost causes? |
|
Aren't we all to you just lost? |
|
Tommy, you left behind something |
|
That'll mean everything right before you die |
|
What if you gained the whole world? |
|
You've already lost four little souls from your life |
|
Widows and orphans aren't hard to find |
|
They're home, missing daddy, who's saving the abandoned tonight |
|
Wish your drinking would hurry and kill you |
|
Sympathy's better than having to tell you the truth |
|
That you are the patron saint of lost causes |
|
All you are to them is now a lost cause |
|
All you are to them is now, causes |
|
Billy, don't you understand? |
|
Timothy stood as long as he could |
|
And now, you made his faith disappear |
|
More like a magician and less like a man of the cloth |
|
We're not questioning God |
|
Just those He chose to carry on His cross |
|
We're no better, you'll see |
|
Just all of us, the lost causes |
|
Aren't we all to you just lost causes? |
|
Are we all to you lost, lost causes? |
|
So all we are to you is all we are, is all we are |
|
All we are is all we are |
|
Patron saint, are we all lost like you? |
|
Patron saint, are we all lost like you? |
|
Patron saint, are we all lost like you? |
|
Patron saint, are we all lost like you? |
|
Patron saint, are we all lost like you? |
|
Patron saint, are we all lost like you? |
|
Patron saint, are we all lost like you? |
|
Patron saint, are we all lost like you? |
|
Patron saint, are we all lost like you? |
|
[Incomprehensible] |
|
Take what you will, what you will and leave |
|
Could you kill, could you kill me? |
|
If the world was on fire and nothing was left |
|
But hope or desire |
|
And take all that I could require, his vision |
|
Or am I on the floor, over-desperate |
|
Hold hands, streaming of blood again? |
|
And then take full weight of me, guard my dreams |
|
Figure this out, it's me on my own |
|
A helpless, hurting, hell |
|
Will you stay strong as you promised? |
|
'Cause I'm stranded and bare |
|
Meanness is washed up in all that I am |
|
[Incomprehensible] |
|
Then grace takes me to a place |
|
Of the father you never had |
|
Ripping and breaking and tearing apart |
|
This is not heaven, this is my hell |
