Vatican

It was like some fever dream
I was buried in the black
I’m just clawing at the earth
When you pull me though the gap

You wrap me in a sheet
Help me to my feet
Always know what’s good for me
Try to stop the bleeding
Help me with my breathing
You’re right, it’s been a rough night
Oh you know me too well
I’m thinking 'why you love me, I’ll never know'

Across the gravel and the dirt
Through the towns and tenements
You go ahead, I’ll crawl behind
Singing 'all the gold in the Vatican wouldn’t be enough
And all the words of the greatest poets couldn’t sum this up'

You wrap me in a sheet
Help me to my feet
Always know what’s good for me
Try to stop the bleeding
Help me with my breathing
You’re right, it’s been a rough night
Oh you know me too well
I’m thinking 'why you love me, I’ll never know'
I’ll never know…

All the gold in the Vatican wouldn’t be enough
And all the words of the greatest poets couldn’t sum this up

You wrap me in a sheet
Help me to my feet
Always know what’s good for me
Try to stop the bleeding
Help me with my breathing
You’re right, it was a rough night
Oh you know me too well
I’m thinking 'why you love me, I’ll never know'
