Drink Judas

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...
