Saints Around My Neck Lyrics by Come

Gently, Down the Stream

1998

Everyone’s sick
With Saints ‘round their necks
Professing themselves
And taking their pills
I’m falling down
I’ve lost my crown
I can’t confess
With Saints ‘round my neck
Saints around my neck
I can’t even breathe
Why don’t you shock me
You don’t believe​ my warnings
Why don’t you show me
My cards are strong
They’re never wrong
You were a sign
And this is a warning
[?]
And I’m still not free
[?]
And I’m still not free
Still can’t see…
What have I done
Something is wrong
What should I have known
Phaedra is gone
Everyone’s sick
With saints around their necks
Defending themselves
And taking their pills
Well I’m falling down
I lost my crown
I can’t confess
With saints around my neck
I can’t even breathe
Something is choking me
Is this a warning
Why don’t you show me
My cards are strong
But I’m always wrong
You were a sign
Without even knowing
Everyone’s sick
But I’m over it
Resenting the friends
Making amends
I’ve lost my crown
And I’m losing ground
Well I can’t confess
With saints around my neck
