Mean Looking Jesus
They say to turn the other cheek, but I'm flat down to bone I try to lay me down to sleep, and I pray when I'm alone But sleep won't come, my prayers are no more comfort from the cold All I want is someone's hand to hold I thought God was love, and Jesus had the most of all But the look there in his beady eyes could make a strong man crawl I did my best to follow - shepherd, sheep, the Father's call But that's a mean looking Jesus on your wall That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall He's not gonna save you, and he won't come when you call Hanging from that marble cross, glaring down the hall That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall The piano's on its side now, the carpet is a mess The picture that you hung so proud, your graduation dress But you keep calling out His name who left you in this squall And that's a mean looking Jesus on your wall That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall He's not gonna save you and he won't come when you call Hanging from that marble cross, glaring down the hall That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall SongtexteGod so loved the world. God so loved the world In the end, The Darkness, in the end Despair Everything you learned by rote will leave you hanging there Yes, He is mysterious, who never saved you yet Why he has forsaken you is anybody's bet That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall He's not gonna save you and he won't come when you call Hanging from that marble cross, glaring down the hall That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall Aus Songtexte Mania
