Roches - Christlike lyrics

rate me

He wants to be Christlike and never be jealous<br />

So he lets her go on about all the other fellas<br />

But the animal in 'em awakes with a growl<br />

And a skin 'em cannibal scowl<br />

Skin 'em cannibal scowl<br />

<br />

And a swing from the trees with his teeth like a chainsaw<br />

Come near me I'll rake off your face with one paw<br />

Watch me now I'm beating my chest like a robber<br />

Who steals from my meat as I rend and slobber<br />

<br />

He sits in the plaza in tunic and sandals<br />

Watching her bent over buying the candles<br />

And he thinks he'd like to take her from behind<br />

Would the Scribes and the Pharisees mind?<br />

Scribes and the Pharisees mind<br />

<br />

A woman approached me all bent and repentant<br />

I blessed her and set her wherever she went<br />

Will these followers ever stop doggin' me now<br />

That I've thrown off this stone and got loose somehow?<br />

<br />

A life that you try to put into a grave<br />

Comes back every Easter to haunt you and save<br />

But my nature is wounded and bloodied and hung<br />

From a cross for my sings and the sings of everyone<br />

Oh those sins of everyone.<br />

<br />

I'm jealous goddamnit! I'm Christ and I'm jealous<br />

And angry and sad and oh Father please tell us<br />

I'm human and God and I'm animal too<br />

As I listen to her going on about you
