Artist: The Ark Album: The Ark (1996) Title: Cracked Messiah
Lyrics Cracked MessiahHe looked really tall 'cause his heels were high They'd puffed him up like a porcupine So I lifted him up to mortal heights When ambition kicked me in the eye
How could he act so thoughtlessly How could it ever come to be That his great and genial fragile mind Appeared to be a cavity
A song, a kiss, a twist of fate That made messiah out to it With saint-like stigmata only for show
Don't stand in my way Listen hear what I say Love comes in different ways
How could he act so thoughtlessly How could it ever come to be That his great and genial fragile mind Appeared to be a cavity
And then the enemy dropped the bomb Survivors there were none, she said And smiled, I jerked, I tried again And failed
Don't stand in my way Listen hear what I say Just stay were you are You're nothing but a fallen star A cracked messiah is what you are
But we can sing, We can dance and do the mime Oh, lay your hand in mine And maybe I can make you smile We can sing Oh, we can drink champagne all night Don't be afraid, we can lie in bed all day And just talk about good times
We can sing, na na na.. Yeah we can sing, na na na.. We can sing, na na na.. We can sing, na na na.. |
