A Pillar of Salt Lyrics by The Thermals

The Body, the Blood, the Machine

2006

[Verse 1]
We were born to sin
We were born to sin
We don't think we're special, sir
We know everybody is
We built too many walls
Yeah, we built too many walls
And now we gotta run
A giant fist is out to crush us
[Verse 2]
We run in the dark
We run in the dark
We don't carry dead weight long
We send them along to Heaven
I carry my baby
I carry my baby
Her eyes can barely see
Her mouth can barely breathe
[Bridge]
I can see she's afraid
She can see the danger
And we don't wanna die or apologize for our dirty god
Our dirty bodies
[Verse 3]
Now I stick to the ground
I stick to the ground
I won't look twice at dead walls
I don't want a white pillar of salt
I carry my baby
I carry my baby
Her eyes can barely see
Her mouth can barely breathe
I can see she's afraid
[Bridge]
That's why we're escaping
So we won't have to die
We won't have to deny
Our dirty god
Our dirty bodies
[Instrumental Outro]
