No-man Drink Judas Lyrics

if I close my eyes,
I might look at it differently.
I'll just crawl beside you
and forget about everything.
But that drunk's still howling
in the alleyway,
and that old man's
fallen on his face again.

chorus:

feel the arrow pierce my heart.
feel the daylight scorch my skin.
retreat into beauty -
can't stand the light.
retreat into beauty -
can't stand the day.

with my hand in yours
I can pretend that I'm not afraid.
our warm bodies shine
and I believe .
I believe in eternity.

but that young girl's screaming "I don't want you back",
and the walls are cracking
in our living room,
and that young girl wishes
that her man were dead
as he drums his fists
into her broken head.

(chorus repeat)

a man is staring at the cold white stars,
he has drawn the head of Jesus
on the paving stone.
And you and I walk through our furnished rooms -
we drink the blood of Judas
from our silver spoons.

(chorus repeat x 2)

if I close my eyes,
I might look at it differently.
I'll just crawl beside you...
