Bartholomew - The Silent Comedy

Oh my God

Please help me knee deep

In the river tryin' to get clean

He says wash your hands get out the stains

But you best believe boy there's hell to pay

Yeah you best believe boy there's hell to pay sayin'

Come on

Oh my God

Please help me waist deep

In the river can you hear my plea

He says son you come like a beggar in the street

You might make it boy but

By the skin of your teeth

You might make it boy but

By the skin of your teeth sayin'

I rambled with the worst of them

Fell in love with a harlequin

Saw the darkest hearts of men

And I saw myself starin' back again

And I saw myself starin' back again

Oh my God

Please help me neck deep

In the river screamin' for relief

He says it's mine to give but it's yours to choose

You're gonna sink or swim you're gonna learn the truth

No matter what you do you're gonna learn the truth sayin'

Ate the bread that once was stone

Fell from a cliff never broke a bone

Bowed down to get the kings overthrown

And I'm all alone and the fire grows

And I'm all alone and the fire grows

La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la

Swing sweet charity

Take what's left of me

A new beginning or is this the end

Or watch me make the messes of men
