Bartholomew

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, 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 staring back again
And I saw myself staring back again

Oh my God, please help me
Neck deep in the river, screaming for release
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, sayin'

Ate the bread that once was a stone
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

Lalalala

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
