The Sexual Loneliness of Jesus Christ

They say that God is in the detail And I'm sure 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 beating 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 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 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 talk among themselves And I live in terror of this sound Their words and cadence do not match And I can smell blood in the ground And I miss my baby I miss him all through the night They're gonna kill my baby And stars are shining bright (Destination) (Destination) (Destination) (Destination) (Destination) (Destination) (Destination) (Destination) (Destination) (Destination)
