Lyrics
God's Lonely Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's open season on the ones who lost their reason
An eye for an eye they all have to die
The bone's been tossed and I'm the retriever
I've had my times of doubt but I'm still a believer
They don't know where I'm coming from
I'm a dog with dirty tricks
I'll do anything for kicks
Heading for the kingdom
Or the best one I can fix
I read the stars in search for a meaning
It's all been scripted be damned if I missed it
Don't know my lines but my lines know where I'm heading
Out of this world and I'm not begging for your blessing
But you should know where I'm coming from
The die's been cast
Shit I'm tied to the mast
Heading for the kingdom
Just hope I can last
Spare a thought for God's lonely man
Cause even Jesus christ
Needed help from time to time
I really don't give a damn
If he's a man or God
It's just those things he said
Help me wanna get out of bed
It's just those things he said
I believe in the spirit but not the institution
We should all be praying for a goddamn revolution
I believe in the one but not the one and only
There's room for us too among the young and the lonely
They don't know where I'm coming from
I'm a dog with dirty tricks
They won't see me when it hits
Heading for the kingdom
Or the best one I can fix
I know you'd never like it but someones gotta show them
A crooked dog but it takes one to know them
Lift my eyes to the hills
Where you used to live
Where does my help come from?
'Cause I sure could use some
I need a drink and a pair of eyes that know me
I need a helping hand to guide and show me
The beauty in the stars, the stars in your head,
Your head on my chest and forget about the rest
Spare a thought for God's lonely man
Cause even Jesus christ
Needed help from time to time
I really don't give a damn
If he's a man or God
It's just those things he said
Help me wanna get out of bed
It's just those things he said
