Asleep In The Chapel |
Three chalk outlines sleep in the dirty street |
And in our beds, under the sheets |
They’re the halo of guilt hanging around your neck |
Next to the rosary you count falling asleep, and we’re praying |
These are the symptoms of letting go all our hope |
Since we can’t compete with martyred saints |
We’ll douse ourselves in gasoline |
And hang our bodies from the lampposts |
So that our shadows turn into bright lights |
White lights, white heat |
We’ll make as we’re blacking out in the center lane |
We swerve to the beat, spill all the ink, no revisions |
Do you hear the church bells ringing? |
Wake up, wake up in an outline and try to speak |
With the shattered voice of the lives we lead |
Have we slept too long |
Between the bullet holes in a stained glass window state? |
And we’re praying |
These are the symptoms of letting go all our hope |
When we repent and we’re praying |
We fall on the page, read in the margins |
We are the symptoms of letting go all our hope |
Someday we’ll be complete like modern saints |
Baptize our kids in gasoline |
And hang our doubts up in cathedrals |
So that they turn to faith in the colored sun |
Red rain, red rain |
We’ll make as we’re blacking out in the center lane |
We swerve to the beat, spill all the ink, no revisions |
Do you hear the church bells ringing? |
They ring for you |
We woke up this morning to a sky with no air in it |
And all the street’s are filled with a thousand burning crosses |
And what we thought was the sunrise was just passing headlights |
Still the choir girls sing |
«Oh Lord, can You save us, save us?» |
'Oh Lord, sing hallelujah' |
'Oh Lord, can You save us, save us?' |
'Oh, Lord, sing hallelujah' |
They are the symptoms of letting go all our hope |
We’re falling asleep with open eyes |
Falling asleep inside the chapel |
Falling asleep in chalk outlines |
Falling asleep as the headlights pass us by |
