intro:

|||| ||||


The rope that’s wrapped around me
                      
Is cutting through my skin
                       
And the doubts that have surrounded me
                      
Are finding their way in
                      
I keep it close to me
                 
Like a holy man prays
                 
In my desperate hour
                 
It’s better that way
                 
So I’ll come by and see you again
                  
I’ll be such a very good friend
                         
Have mercy on my soul
               
I will never let you know
                   
Where my mind has been
                 

 Angels never came down
||        
There’s no one here they want to hang around
                                  
But if they knew
           
If they knew you at all
                   
Then one by one the angels
                  
Angels would fall
               

I’ve crept into your temple
                  
I have slept upon your pew
                       
I’ve dreamed of the divinity
               
Inside and out of you
                   
I want it more than truth
                  
I can taste it on my breath
                    
I would give my life just for a little death
                                   

So I’ll come by and see you again
                          
I’ll be just a very good friend
                   
I will not look upon your face
                     
I will not touch upon your grace
                
Your ecclesiastic skin
                  

I’ll come by and see you again
                     
I’ll have to be a very good friend
                        
If I whisper they will know
                    
I’ll just turn around and go
                   
You will never know my sin
