Bartholomew by The Silent Comedy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh my god please help me knee deep in the river trying to get clean
He says wash your hands get out the stains
But you best believe boy there's hell to pay yeah you best believe boy there's hell to pay
Come on

[Verse 2]
Oh my God please help me waist deep in the river can you hear my plea
He says son you come like a begger in the streets
You might make it boy but by the skin of your teeth
You might make it boy but by the skin of your teeth, sayin'

I rambled with the worst of them
Fell in love with a harlequin
Saw the darkest hearts of men
And I saw myself staring back again and I saw myself staring back again

[Verse 3]
Oh my God please help me neck deep in the river screaming for relief!
He says it's mine to give but it's yours to choose
You gonna sink or swim you gonna learn the truth no matter what you do your gonna learn the truth saying
Ate the bread that once was stones
Fell from a cliff never broke a bone
Bowed down to get the kings overthrown
Now I'm all alone and the fires grows and I'm all alone and the fires grows

(LaLa's)

Swing sweet charity take what's left of me
A new beginning or is this the end
Swing sweet Seraphim take me back again or watch me make the messes of men
