You called me up today
I should've stood in your way
You lied
And everywhere a dream
Nothing came between
I died
Give me a way
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 want water
And if you want food
And if you want shelter
I cannot come over to you
And if you want love now
Or a needle and a spoon
You gotta show a little faith in me, now baby
I can't come over to you
It's never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
God, come on down
And if you want your heart out
Sitting by the bay
Well, the sun went down tomorrow
It will not come up today
And if you want love now
Or rapture oh so cruel
If there is a God, it's me
Now baby, I cannot come over to you
It's never gonna be the same
She drew me in, anyway
She lied
You gotta show a little faith
Your old hanging cross you made
What goes up must come down and down and down
Cry
And if I want fame, now
All the glory, all the womb
And if I want my name emblazened in all the light in you
And if I wanted Christ or a Messiah by my side
I can't believe in anything
I know that Mary lied
Sucked you up today
Could've got in your way
Oh, Mary lied
Do you know?
Can you feel it?
Do you feel me?
Yeah
And if you wanted madness
And if you want what's pure
Well, you gotta come over to me, baby
My life doesn't reach to you
And if you want love so unconditional and real
You gotta ride that black horse, baby
Through the depths of hell that I've been
Follow me away
Yeah, and though I walk
I will be the same
The strongest one to name
Through the valley of life
I'm gonna be the same
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Oh, you'll never be the same
