Someone Like Jesus

I met someone like Jesus in the spring of '98

He was so full of love and I was so full of hate

So I nailed him on a cross where he belonged

Told myself it's what he would have wanted all along

And I drove into the night looking for something to burn

One of those little parables that I never cared to learn

And I don't know what this feeling is but it's dripping through me

There's something in the corner of my life that I cannot quite see

And I'm not sleeping well, all my dreams are so real

I dreamed I set fire to my house, watched the great beams come crashing down

Later on I was standing in the ashes of the stairs

They asked me what happened, "it was an accident" I said

I don't know what all this means and I don't care - it's nothing to me

But there was something in the corner of that dream that I could not quite see

And I don't know what this feeling is but it's dripping through me

There's something in the corner of my life that I cannot quite see

And there's a happy family snapshot, when you were very small

But there were visits to the doctor, you can't remember what for

Curtains drawn in silence on a summer afternoon

And the flies - buzzing in the room

And you don't know what this feeling is and you can't explain it to me

But there was something in the corner of that family photo that you cannot quite see

And I don't know what all this means but it's dripping through me

There's something in the corner of our lives that we cannot quite see
