Lyrics

He pulls open his eyes as he rides into town
Oh, the blood on his hands is washed down by the rain
Those bloodthirsty hangmen of Pilate are waiting no more
Now their crimson stories are told to the drain, to the drain
And by this time he knows that it's too late
And the other cheek is far too tired
And he knows that the end of it all
Is the only diamond that keeps him inspired
Oh yeah
That keeps him inspired
No, no, no, no
He sleeps in a payphone and dreams of the sea
Yeah, when he wakes he's still aching and cold and alone
Yeah, he looks back to the childhood he had
Before all the children went mad
And he loves that revolver like it was a precious stone
And by this time he knows that it's too late
And the other cheek is far too tired
And he knows that the end of it all
Is the only diamond that keeps him inspired
New leaf of freedom keeps him warm
The light of the way
He's a cabaret actor, now a proselyte
A keen scrutinizer and a new parasite
And he looks for the Nazarene in every dirty magazine
Looks for the Nazarene in every dirty magazine
Oh yeah
Oh, he sees again just what the world is made of
Oh, keeps firing, repeating "God is love"
Yeah, sees again just what the world is made of
Oh, keeps firing, repeating "God is love"
God is love
Yeah, he sees again just what the world is made of
Sees what the world is made of
Keeps firing, repeating "God is love"
God is love
Oh, God is love
Repeating "God is love"
God is love
