Apocrypha
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.
I said I wanna be born
Born again
But not right now
Please don't take me there
But God said
Son, it's time to go
But when you'll return
I don't know just yet
But even stars they die when they get old
The precious ones that we used to hold
So if you gonna shoot you better hit your mark
Send that arrow
Sent it through my heart
My heart
You said
This time, I won't get turned away
This time, I won't get turned away
This time, I won't get turned away
You said
Well, Joan of Arc
I walk in the dark
She said
I've seen how the world ends
First they love you
Then they kill you
Then they'll love you again, and again
Again
She said
This time, I won't get turned away
This time, I won't get turned away
This time, I won't get turned away
But Jesus Christ
What did you do
To deserve what they done to you?
We're coming downtown
See what we got
We got the right
We know something ain't right
We know something ain't right
I said
Going downtown
See what we got
We got the right
We got the right
