lyrics
“Gunshot wound to the head,” they said
They love the way it crucifies
The junkie arch angel and his pale horse were dead
They love the way it crucifies
They all bought tickets to the funeral
Champagne vigils they kept
They love the way it crucifies
And with cemetery suntans
They mourned him with sex
They love the way it crucifies
And his oppressors rejoiced
While they ate his disease
They love the way it crucifies
With horny headaches adoring
His jailed masterpiece
They love the way it crucifies
So farewell my friend
Farewell my love
Where you’ve gone I cannot follow
No one takes your life
You lay it down
Mary Magdalene selling vials
Filled with his tears
She loves the way it crucifies
The first time she loved him
He’d been dead seven years
She loves the way it crucifies
A narcotic grin she struts
She casts lots on his clothes
She loves the way it crucifies
And she rules with an iron tampon
Wearing his crown of thorns
She loves the way it crucifies
And she hides ‘neath shadow
Of his ghost to look lost
She loves the way it crucifies
With her imitation meat clutching
Her arm candy cross
She loves the way it crucifies
So farewell my friend
Farewell my love
Where you’ve gone I cannot follow
No one takes your life
You lay it down
After 3 days he stopped the bleeding
And was laid to rest
They love the way it crucifies
And they elected his enemies
To reign in his stead
They love the way it crucifies
And they erected his crucifix
So that the whole world could see
They love the way it crucifies
From where his prayers went unanswered
To the backroads of Aberdeen
They love the way it crucifies
And I miss him so much
Though he’s never left my side
I love the way it crucifies
And I await his return
I watch for the signs
I love the way it crucifies
So farewell my friend
farewell my love
where you’ve gone I cannot follow
no one takes your life
you lay it down
