A Pillar of Salt
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.
We were born to sin
We were born to sin!
We don't think we're special sir
We know everybody is
We built too many walls
Yeah we built too many walls!
But now we gotta' run
A giant fist is out to crush us
We run in the dark
We run in the dark!
We don't carry dead weight along
We send them below to heaven
I carry my baby
I carry my baby!
Her eyes can barely see
Her mouth can barely breathe
I see she's afraid
She can see the danger
We don't wanna die
Or apologize
For our dirty God
Our dirty body
Now I stick to the ground
I stick to the ground!
I wont look twice to the dead walls
I dont wanna wipe a pillar of salt
I carry my baby
I carry my baby!
Her eyes can barely see
Her mouth can barely breathe
I can see shes afraid
That's why we're escaping
So we won't have to die
We won't have to deny
Our dirty God
Our dirty bodies!
