Imitation of Christ

Another Christ is on the cross

The nails are words

The nails are lies

To make it crawl


And make it scream

And make it real

And make it bleed

And make it bleed

And make it bleed

And make it dream


Imitation of Christ

Imitation of Christ


This you who lie and scream

You fall to dust

You fall to dust

In walls of words

Your words are blind

You speak

And you are dumb and blind

The word that is your god

Is you who fall so low and fall so far


Imitation of Christ

Imitation of Christ


Fly to the moon, dear

Sew it on a stool

Tie on the carpet

All the cowboys fall


See the cowboys fat and reeling

Dancing underneath the ceiling

Leave the bar

The theatre's closing

Make a wall of your religion


Imitation of Christ

Imitation of Christ


Mary, Mary

Mother, mother

You and me and

God the father

Jesus is a woman too

He looks like all of me and you

Your money talks and

All your friends

Will laugh at her pathetic tits


Imitation of Christ

Imitation of Christ
