running backwards with my cross on fire

125 32 22
By seasofme

sometimes my cross self combusts

it bursts into noisy flames and i think i frighten you

sometimes that light warms your heart

but mostly it sets your mind to charcoal

in the shape of the praying hands

but squat hands     dumb thumbs


and i think: if you made a mistake     why do you

not just fix it     if your judgement was off kilter

just right it     if you're sorry you will be forgiven

just set right what you set wrong


sometimes my cross self combusts

it bursts into wordy flames and it frightens me

sometimes that light warms my heart

but mostly it sets my mind to charcoal

in the shape of those praying hands

but squat hands     dumb thumbs


your dumb thumbs     your dumb thumbs

media lyrics: god's mistake - tears for fears

have a friend, calls me up says hello, and then hangs up he must have read my mind these are the days of a different paradigm maybe once, even twice he said, god does not play dice yet if he's everywhere he's in casinos with aces to spare oh, love is god's mistake oh, love is god's mistake (mistake) ours is not to reason why as we fall from way up high into the water (into the water) like a lamb to the slaughter even now, god's mistake sets us up for one more heartbreak god you look mighty fine dressed as the devil in a cosmic pantomime oh, love is god's mistake oh, love is god's mistake never was so much at stake oh, love is god's mistake oh, love is god's mistake
