Flicker and Fail

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

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

But the rain fell on the houses

And the leaves fell over the 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

How I 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

The believers were forewarned

They ran into the storm

And watched the earth's light flicker and fail

They 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
