lyrics

There's a dead dog in my backyard with his nose in the air
He'd be happy to see me if it weren't for all those wild hairs
But cats aren't the only curious animals
And as this shallow grave proves he wasn't granted his miracle

There's no hope in gray skies over funeral pyres
So tonight the kids will get drunk and make the choice not to sire
Cause God needs taught a lesson so he'll right all his wrongs
There'll be no work left for angels when our race is finally won

So you can pull all your harp strings
We'll stop ringing our bells
You'll never get your wings
So put your halos up for sale
Stop baking your manna
And cut your golden hair
Come down off your towers
Now it's our world to share

You can pray all you want to but the phone's off the hook
And your mother's love is waning, now she won't even look
In your eyes there's no feeling but you claim to see light
When the darkness comes calling are you sure you'll be right
They say there's both judge and jury in the clouds, in the ground
And the songs that haunted your childhood will become the only sound
