He kept his hand held high in the clouds He made us bow down, shout out loud He worked the crowd like a man possessed But there's a church burning in his chest I think we've been here before Salvation knocked on our door Heaven was letting us in But then we just had to stop and start all over again This is our last revelation We had such great expectations Have we learned nothing at all? A real close call is just the same as damnation We got the free world at arms length They had the vision, desire and strength We felt the faith works slipping away When we would pass the collection plate I swear we've been here before Salvation knocked on our door Heaven was letting us in But then we just had to stop and start all over again This is our last revelation We had such great expectations Have we learned nothing at all? A real close call is just the same as damnation This is our last revelation We had such great expectations Have we learned nothing at all? A real close call is just the same as damnation This is our last revelation We had such great expectations Have we learned nothing at all? A real close call is just the same as damnation
