Christ in Concrete - Crazy Arm

Taken by wheel, rail and heel

Brought here to die, or work in hell

Death from above, close your eyes

Seeds of disease, sown and grown

We fall

Sew up your mouth, try your friends

Nobody wants you in the end

Sew up your sins, sit dead still

Nobody loved you and no-one ever will

I know

Wave goodbye and never to be found

Walk away and never turn around

You’ll soon see it through with liquor in you

You’ll do what you do with anger in you

We were supposed to make a difference

To shorten the distance

Now the distance keeps us down

Cauterize lesions and learn from the loss

The force of completion is leaving us looking for more

And more and more

Seen all the pictures and heard all the laughter

But still I don’t really belong

Close to calling

All that I have are these kids and these books

And it won’t take me long to pack up

Building justice on these threadbare clothes of mine

Sew up your mouth, try your friends

Somebody needs you in the end

Sew up your sins, you sit dead-still

Somebody loves you and someone always will
