"Jesus On The Cross" lyrics

"Jesus On The Cross"
(feat. Louise Welsh)

Jesus on the cross, hanging in the rain
Let me give you an umbrella to help to ease your pain
Jesus on the cross, isn't it enough
You have to suffer rusty nails, thorns and other stuff

Jesus on the cross, they say you died for me
Try to wash away my sins that they can't reap
But Jesus lost and didn't do no good
I guess you're just a painted man carved from a rotting wound

Jesus on the cross, hanging in the rain
I can hear voices talking deep inside my brain
Jesus, you're so wet, it's a crying shame
I'll take out my simple to warm you with this flame

Jesus, I will talk with eyes of hell, weren't you?
I don't think it's fair but you should feel them too
Jesus can hear the silence coming close
I guess it isn't only the singers that you rose

Jesus, you're a charred lump of smoke and dust
But the rain keeps on falling on your monitored bus
Jesus and the ash lying in the rain
Let me give you my umbrella to help to ease your pain

Jesus got us all day up at the end of plan
They're taking out a needle to I'm sticking to my arm
Jesus, you and me before, before our time
I'm glad I helped to ease your pain now baby, you make me smile

Jesus
Jesus
