The Sexual Loneliness Of Jesus Christ Songtext / Lyric

they say that god is in the detail

and I'm shire that's true

I run my thumb across egyptian stone

and the images come through

I see the bird, I see the dog

I feel the weather deep inside my shoes

I see the light upon my hand

as I receive uncertain news

suddenly I realize I'm living the lie

my father planned for me

with the sun bearing on my back

I see I am the lonely man of Galilee



and if I ride my way across the shattered stones

will I ever see the bleaching of the bones

of the boy I used to be when I still sang

before I lived in fear of dying on my own

I cannot die alone






and I miss my baby

I miss him all through the night

they're gonna kill my baby

and stars are shining bright



I enter certain distant lands

and see young woman dying inside

they hold young children by the hand

but luck is not upon their side

cold shards of space rip through their clothes



and pierce the heart that bears the pain

in grief and bandages they walk a thousand miles

of driving rain

if a woman should bathe my feet

because she loves me and I'n not even there

what does that say about the emptiness I feel

or the power of prayer?

all kinds of power circle me

I raise my arms and the world goes boom

but I see no me in woman's eyes

I suffer like a child in an empty room



on a ship the sailors are all smiles

but there is nothing in their eyes

in fact their eyes are dead

but the horror is that love is their disguise

they turn to laugh among themselves

and I live in terror of this sound

their words and cadence do not match
