Gideon's Bible

2 views

Lyrics

Holding on with both eyes to things that don't exist
 Peering through the cutting wrist at grand old mother greedy
 Rolling out the cotton ship upon the carpet pillow
 Throttling children callously, a messy day with Clancy
 Gideon lied and Gideon died
 The force of China felt
 Gideon smiled as Gideon died
 The thought of China held
 Pulling on the golden robes, another foreign language
 Stretching out the verbs and nouns together in the greeting
 Some that felt the blade often, some deep confused emotion
 Struck eye first against that wall of China under fire
 Gideon lied and Gideon died
 The force of China felt
 Gideon smiled as Gideon died
 The thought of China held
