Brimstone & Vaseline
Did it ever cross your mind?
Does this come as some surprise
So you took us for a ride
Until the scales fell from my eyes
Put your petulance aside
And for a second, quell your pride
Jesus, have you lost your mind
Because all I lost was time
Wait
Watch me walk away
We fled down the fire escape
and you felt betrayed
A grown man of thirty-eight
Jesus, act your age
Death tucked between two legs
But never himself to blame
Had this ever crossed your mind?
How could this come as some surprise?
Semi-conscious all this time
and then scales fell from my eyes
Does it help you ease your mind?
Did this help you sleep at night?
Jesus, have you lost your mind?
Well, you're well within your rights
Good grief
Thrown in stark relief
A car fire of vanities
Wonders never cease
And what's left to slay the beast?
The Sword of Damocles?
Or hung from the Jesus piece
Made from his baby teeth?
Has this never crossed your mind
In all your spiteful little life?
Has it flashed before your eyes
and did you ever question why?
Look, I-I know this hurt your pride
But for the first time in your life
Put your petulance aside
and pull the blinders from your eyes
(end)
Does this come as some surprise
So you took us for a ride
Until the scales fell from my eyes
Put your petulance aside
And for a second, quell your pride
Jesus, have you lost your mind
Because all I lost was time
Wait
Watch me walk away
We fled down the fire escape
and you felt betrayed
A grown man of thirty-eight
Jesus, act your age
Death tucked between two legs
But never himself to blame
Had this ever crossed your mind?
How could this come as some surprise?
Semi-conscious all this time
and then scales fell from my eyes
Does it help you ease your mind?
Did this help you sleep at night?
Jesus, have you lost your mind?
Well, you're well within your rights
Good grief
Thrown in stark relief
A car fire of vanities
Wonders never cease
And what's left to slay the beast?
The Sword of Damocles?
Or hung from the Jesus piece
Made from his baby teeth?
Has this never crossed your mind
In all your spiteful little life?
Has it flashed before your eyes
and did you ever question why?
Look, I-I know this hurt your pride
But for the first time in your life
Put your petulance aside
and pull the blinders from your eyes
(end)
