Jerusalem

As he entered the room, the poison came alive
With a grin like he wasn't there
So he bit his lip and took a place by the wall
Playing missions and double dare

She said I only see you in the dark when the law's not around
They're far too busy to stare
So put me in your band of liberated women and the liberated men won't care
And what a pleasure it's been

And while beach boys play for pretty girls
And Superman cries for a little help
You paint your face like it's Jerusalem
You lead the way like Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Hang left, hang right

But they never went to school, 'cause who goes to school?
At school, you're ruled by fate
She might demand to be around when you get old
And she'd scream if you made her wait

So she ate all her greens and took stupid to bed
He'd been fighting all night long
But the second time around, she ignored what he said
And hoped he'd get it wrong
What a pleasure it's been

And while beach boys play for pretty girls
And Superman cries for a little help
You paint your face like it's Jerusalem
You lead the way like Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Hang left, hang right

Beach boys play for pretty girls
Superman cries for a little help
You paint your face like Jerusalem
You lead the way like Jerusalem

Oh, beach boys play for pretty girls
And Superman cries for a little help
You led the way like Jerusalem
