Sacrifice

(album: The Screaming Jets - 1995)

Spinning in a nose dive change my old life, wash my hands
Up and down, turned around, am I ever gonna land?
Dreaming of my new way every day, is this my shelter, am I right?

You want me to live like Jesus Christ
I could never make that sacrifice

Sinking in this whirlpool and I'm drowning in the mire
Up and down, twist me around, a feather could have knocked me down
Faces flash before me black at my back cut me some slack

You want me to live like Jesus Christ
You toss your coin but I roll my dice
I could never make that sacrifice

Falling through this vacuum in my back room lost in space
A crack in a face of tone, I see a king on a tin can throne
I've seen the light from your fallen eyes while crimson dries
Got so much to learn
Want your money to burn

You want me to live like Jesus Christ
I could never make that sacrifice
You toss your coin, gonna roll my dice
And I could never make that sacrifice
