lyrics

St. John


Well who is puppet,
And who is master?
Hear this trumpet call all gamblers to their knee

To saint john of the cross
Saint of all bastards
Rubs his fingers and cries this plea

Would I were a sailor
On the high seas
Sailing through danger
In better company
Or better still a martyr
And you'd wear black for me
Wish I was the man I used to be

Who is master and who is the master's son?
Where have you been when it's been so goddamned long
To saint john of the cross, saint of all bastards
Cradles his hands and sings this song


Would I were a soldier in the great war
Or that I had the wisdom to know what it was for
Your love was a cruel mistress not easily ignored
Still I wish the man I was before
I wish I was the man I am no more
