Church - Myrrh lyrics
rate meEmerald haunt in overdrive<br />
Nightmare descent into Jericho city<br />
Camel dust heralds our arrival<br />
New Christ beneath the drumkit moon<br />
Oh Lord we are threatened again<br />
In the slipstream pull of the federal men<br />
Plummet in some seamless night<br />
Down here to earth it's hopeless then<br />
<br />
Apache gunman in the boiling crowd<br />
Who never got to meet you last time<br />
We're interrupted by the telephone<br />
You didn't think they were invented then<br />
Oh Lord we need miracles<br />
We need more wine and gold<br />
We need slaves and roads and personal favors<br />
We need microphones and manifolds<br />
<br />
How can you be so invisible<br />
Give me the nerves to see<br />
Privilege on privilege<br />
An unwanted discovery<br />
<br />
So now we're cruising down this shuddering highway<br />
With a dead sun shining on my back<br />
And we talk about the way people treat us back there<br />
Their hollow laughter, the pain in their eyes<br />
Oh Lord I trust your intentions<br />
But money strangles our love<br />
Struggling like a fool with my junk and my jewels<br />
You would have thought I'd had enough<br />
<br />
How can you be so invisible<br />
Give me the nerves to see<br />
Privilege on privilege<br />
An unwanted discovery
