Life Despite God

Cut me up today
Should’ve stood in your way
He lied

And everywhere a dream
Nothing came between
I died

Give me away
I will not bleed for you
God comes down

Never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same

And if you wanted water
And if you wanted food
If you want shelter
I cannot come over to you

If you want love now
Or the needle and the spoon
You gotta show a little faith in me now baby
I can’t come over to you

Never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
God come on down

And if you want my heart out
Sittin by the bay
Well, the sun went down tomorrow
It will not come up today

And if you want my love now
Wrapped your arms so cruel
If there’s a god it’s me now baby
I cannot come over to you

Never gonna be the same
She put me in your way
She lied

You gotta show a little faith
In your old rugged cross you made
What comes up it must go down
And down and down and down you cried

And if I wanted fame now
Or the glory of the womb
And if I wanted my name in places
I’ll never lie to you

And if I wanted Christ
Or a Messiah by my side
I can’t believe in anything
I know that Mary lied

I sent you up today
Could’ve got in your way
Oh, Mary lied

Do you know?
Can you feel it?
Do you feel me?

Yea

And if you wanted madness
If you want what’s pure
You gotta come over to me now baby
My light doesn’t reach to you

If you want a love
So unconditional and real
You’ve gotta ride that black horse baby
Through the depths of hell that I’ve been
Follow me away
Yea though I walk

I will be the same
The strongest one that’s made
Through the valley of life

Never gonna be the same
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
You’ll never be the same
