lyrics

Every Friday in the shallow waters
Of a cocktail sea
You are born again
Into how you wish you'd be
The women at your side
Laughing at your jokes
But they don't get the gist
That between the lines
Something's amiss
Something's amiss

How is it that I could
Have been so blind
When you came for me
For the second time
Scumbag Jesus
Coming for the dead
Pinned to sky-blue sheets
On your king-sized bed

Compared to you
I'm on the wrong side of time
A minute ahead
Or a decade behind
I've yet to catch up
I've yet to catch up
A minute ahead
Or a decade behind

Now I'm dragging my head across the wall
Leaving a hand in the air to break my fall
In case I fall
In case I fall
