The Sexual Loneliness of Jesus Christ

Lyrics

They say that God is in the detail
 And I'm sure that's true
 I run my thumb across Egyptian stone
 And the images come through
 I see the bird, I see the dog
 I feel the weather deep inside my shoes
 I see the light upon my hand
 As I receive uncertain news
 Suddenly, I realize I'm living the lie
 My father planned for me
 With the sun beating on my back
 I see I am the lonely man of Galilee
 And if I ride my way across the shattered stones
 Will I ever see the bleaching of the bones
 Of the boy I used to be when I still sang
 Before I lived in fear of dying on my own?
 I cannot die alone
 And I miss my baby
 I miss him all through the night
 They're gonna kill my baby
 And stars are shining bright
 ♪
 I enter certain distant lands
 And see young woman dying inside
 They hold young children by the hand
 But luck is not upon their side
 Cold shards of space rip through their clothes
 And pierce the heart that bears the pain
 In grief and bandages they walk a thousand miles
 Of driving rain
 If a woman should bathe my feet
 Because she loves me and I'n not even there
 What does that say about the emptiness I feel
 Or the power of prayer?
 All kinds of power circle me
 I raise my arms and the world goes "boom!"
 But I see no me in woman's eyes
 I suffer like a child in an empty room
 And if I ride my way across the shattered stones
 Will I ever see the bleaching of the bones
 Of the boy I used to be when I still sang
 Before I lived in fear of dying on my own?
 I cannot die alone
 And I miss my baby
 I miss him all through the night
 They're gonna kill my baby
 And stars are shining bright
 ♪
 On a ship the sailors are all smiles
 But there is nothing in their eyes
 In fact their eyes are dead
 But the horror is that love is their disguise
 They turn to talk among themselves
 And I live in terror of this sound
 Their words and cadence do not match
 And I can smell blood in the ground
 And I miss my baby
 I miss him all through the night
 They're gonna kill my baby
 And stars are shining bright
