American Jesus Lyrics by Bob Schneider

In A Roomful Of Blood With A Sleeping Tiger

0

And I can't be your exciting career
And I know you never asked me for either
But I know somehow I’ve let you down, my dear
But I know well the sound of your laughter
And I've made a map of all your fears
And I'll take you home
When this party’s over
I'll still take you home after all these years
I'll lie beside you while you lie there sleeping
While the wolves howl up outside on the lawn
And when the stars seek you out
So far from hеaven
I'll still be herе for you long after they're gone
And I know well your need for solace
What hides under the embers of all your tears
And I'll take you home
When this party's over
I'll still take you home after all these years
Both time and love aren’t set in stone
Only borrowed or freely given
But they’re both so heavy they can break your heart
Til you don't know if you can go on living
And I can’t be the thing that makes you happy
Maybe once I was, but not anymore
I can only be who I am
Waiting here for you when you come through the door
And I know well the types of your affection
The way they wax and wane
But I'll take you home
When this party's over
I will always take you back home again
