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
