flicker and fail

he took a bus to meet me in a bar in a tuscan hill

oh a sight i'd never seen

i believe in god still

but you wouldn't be able to stop me if i feel like running away

wouldn't be able to stop me if i didn't want to stay

and the rain fell on the houses

and on the late swaying trees

it fell its fiercest on the skulls of the willingly deceived

they put money in their hearts and god where their mouth is

they put money in their hearts and god

said he'd been sleeping lonely

spending nights under the stars

little darling

we're all lonely

we don't all show our scars

it's my heart

and my burden

and i would never bring you down like that

my heart

my burden

i would never bring you down with me

and the rain fell on the towers and on the late swaying trees

and it hammered and it raged on us unwillingly

and the believers were forewarned

and they ran into the storm

and watched the earth's light flicker and fail

watched the earth's light flicker and fail

flicker and

flicker and fail

they put money in their hearts and god where their mouth is

they put money in their hearts and god where their mouth is

they put money in their hearts and god where their mouth is

they put money in their hearts and god
