Bartholomew Lyrics - Singles - The Silent Comedy

Oh my God 

Please, help me knee deep in the river tryin' 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, sayin' 

Come on 

Oh my god 

Please help me, waist deep in the river, can you hear my plea? 

He says, son, you come like a beggar 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 starin' back again 

And I saw myself starin' back again 

Oh my god 

Please help me, neck deep in the river screamin' for relief 

He says, it's mine to give, but it's yours to choose 

You're gonna sink or swim, you're gonna learn the truth 

No matter what you do you're gonna learn the truth sayin' 

Ate the bread that once was stone 

Fell from a cliff, never broke a bone 

Bowed down to get the kings overthrown 

And I'm all alone and the fire grows 

And I'm all alone and the fire grows 

(La la la la la la la la la la la) 

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
