Jesus Said (Bonus Track)

(앨범: Rattlesnakes - 1984)

Jesus said to Mary
Lord, the things we do for love
Well, do think I seem self conscious
It's only you I'm thinking of
Well I was hiding in the bathroom
Quite unable to cry
Now I'm weeping with a vengeance
Since your voice came down the line

I moved up from the country
Though I never could have stayed
I just dipped my hand in the water
And got carried away

Well would you put me down
Just for being around
At the wrong time of day?
Or would you leave me while I'm sleeping
Out through the fire escape?
They tell me swans do fly
Across a perfect sky
And it's a purist's sky tonight
So you'll desert me in the morning
On account of your cruelty and spite

I moved up from the country
To wave goodbye to all that
I just leapt up on that riverboat
And I never will look back

Jesus said to Mary
Lord, the things we do for love
Well, did she think he was self conscious
It was only her he was thinking of
Well I was hiding in the bathroom
Quite unable to cry
Now I'm weeping with a vengeance
But these are tears of joy, oh my

I moved up from the country
Though I never could have stayed
I just dipped my hand in the water
And got carried away
