Myrrh (2002 Remastered) - The Church
Written by:The Church
Emerald haunt in overdrive
Nightmare descent into
Jericho city
Camel dust heralds our arrival
New Christ beneath
The drumkit moon
Oh Lord we are threatened again
In the slipstream pull
Of the federal men
Plummet in some seamless night
Down here to earth it's
Hopeless then
Apache gunman in the boiling crowd
Who never got to meet you last time
We're interrupted by the telephone
You didn't think they
Were invented then
Oh Lord we need miracles
We need more wine and gold
We need slaves and roads
And personal favors
We need
Microphones and manifolds
How can you be so invisible
Give me the nerves to see
Privilege on privilege
An unwanted discovery
So now we're cruising down
This shuddering highway
With a dead sun shining on my back
And we talk about the way
People treat us back
There
Their hollow laughter
The pain in their eyes
Oh my Lord I trust your intentions
But money strangles our love
Struggling like a fool with
My junk and my jewels
You would have thought
I'd had enough
How can you be so invisible
Give me the nerves to see
Privilege on privilege
An unwanted discovery
How can you be so invisible
Give me the nerves to see
Privilege on privilege
An unwanted discovery
