KIRSTY MACCOLL - Closer To God lyrics

rate me

You turned all my dreams into nightmares<br>But you won't turn my water to wine<br>Now you don't handle me like that rosary<br>I've seen you carressing now and again<br>Is there one law for you and another for me? <br>Is it written in some ancient text? <br>Are the wings of retreat well attached to your feet? <br>Do you think of me often when you're with your friend? <br>Do you cringe a bit now and again? <br><br>Are you closer to God than the folk you despise? <br>Are we closer to God than the ants and the flies? <br>Is your idea of heaven my idea of hell? <br>When you get to those gates will your friend come as well? <br>Will the good lord preserve you in pickle or brine? <br>Well if I catch you first then he won't get the time<br>I'm all out of pity, you're all out of line<br>But remember you used to be mine<br>Remember you used to be mine<br><br>Are you closer to God than the folk you despise? <br>Are we closer to God than the ants and the flies? <br>Is your idea of heaven my idea of hell? <br>When you get to those gates will your friend come as well? <br>Does the lord keep you warm in her bed every night? <br>Are your prayers in the morning just squeals of delight? <br>Has my mind disappeared now the flesh is so weak? <br>I notice you always say nothing to me<br>I notice that we never speak<br>I notice that we never speak<br><br>I notice that we never speak
