Holy Mother

My church is a shop

Sold out of forgiveness

An emptiness

I need a god

I can believe in

Wear her round my neck

Pray she lay on my chest till it caves in

She brings the end

Lift me up holy mother

Then throw me down to ground

My church is a shop

Trading in wits ends

Not omnipotence

I need a god

I need a saviour

Put her in my pocket

Just so she can save me for later

Do me this favour

Lift me up holy mother

Then throw me down to ground

I know I ain't prayed for a while

Been feeling so close to the sun

The light I once thought was an angel

Is a traffic collision head on

What's the rush? Mother, where's the fire?

I know that I need saving but mother

Save me for later

I need a god

Turn wine back to water

A hypnotist anarchist

Furious at all the dreamers

I really need her

To lift me holy mother

Then leave me

To drown in the clouds

I know I ain't prayed for a while

Been feeling so close to the sun

The light I once thought was an angel

Is a traffic collision head on

What's the rush?

Mother, where's the fire?

I know that I need saving but mother

Save me for later
