I was dragging your face around the floor
|
Somebody's boot heel in your mouth
|
Scars of cigarettes buds on your tongue
|
These are the things you loved me for
|
|
Found a young boy down by the dockside
|
Lying half-in
|
Half-out of the water
|
Had a leather facing nailed to his head
|
Left his little soul away
|
Back in that bed
|
Jesus loves all little children (x2)
|
|
I broke a large bottle on the edge of your cranium
|
You stared there
|
Smiling at eyes of oblivion
|
I sent you down to spending your damn deliria
|
When you began screaming
|
I spat in your mouth
|
I kissed you so tenderly
|
Thinking about
|
Yes, these are the things you loved me for
|
These are the things you loved me for
|
|
But God will never see you in the bowels of the building
|
For the ever righteous angel will know what your feeling
|
He'll find you
|
Seek you nevertheless
|
Running petroleum all over your legs
|
The hymn that he sing won't be forgiveness
|
The hymn that he sing won't be of love
|
Angels are immune to love and desire
|
You reach down slowly to the gut of the fire
|
The smell of the sin (x3)
|
The smell of the glory
|
These are the things you loved me for (x5)
