Bitter's Kiss - The Rope Lyrics
Who are you trying to impress when you pray,Do you fear you'll be graded by god?How many things can go on in a dayThat you stay on your knees so long?Are you praying for the poor and the dyingOr the drought-stricken starving for rain?Are you asking why it hurts when you smile?Are you thankful for the pain?I have sat through your church serviceListening for a word I could embraceStaring into the preacher's eyesSearching for the soul behind the faceDo your angels keep you waiting?How much longer can you cope?There's a quicker way to heavenIf you can find yourself a ropeI have walked through your old streetsLooking for the life you threw awayWhen you sold your sight at the setting sun,Was it too high a price to pay?Pray for the saints and the sinnersUnder blue skies or crying in the rainEver wonder why it hurts when you smile?Are you tired of the pain?Do your angels keep you waiting?How much longer can you cope?I can pull you up to heavenIf you can find yourself a rope
