Tongue of God

I cry in the shower

And smile in the bed

I cry in the shower

And smile in the bed

I cry in the shower

And smile in the bed

I cry in the shower

And smile in the bed

"Don't be afraid"

I hear people say

As if it will let me live

If I'm just brave

Then the clouds of death

Would simply draw away

(I cry in the shower

And smile in the bed)

The things that the living tell

The not dead

If you only heard them

As they sound in my head

If you only heard them

From this bed

What's on your mind, God?

Spit it out!

Tongue of God

Lip my grin

Run your tip over my back skin

I'm not your kissing kin

Tongue of God

Lick me clean on the inside

We were never kissing kin

God loves a jester

God loves a joke

God loves a jester

God loves a joke

I may be stubborn and headstrong

But you know I mean well

Too demanding to call up

But too good for Hell

So if you don't love me I might still be OK

Still have enough spine to serve a punchline

What's on your tongue, God?

Spit it out

What's that in your mouth?

Spit!

It!

Out!

Tongue of God

Lip my grin

Run your tip over my back skin

I'm not your kissing kin

Tongue of God

Lash right in

Lick me clean on the inside

We were never kissing

Tongue of God

Lip my grin

Run your tip over my back skin

I'm not your kissing kin

Tongue of God

Lash right in

Lick me clean on the inside

We were never kissing kin

I cry in the shower

And smile in the bed

I cry in the shower

And smile in the bed

I die in the shower

I live in the bed

I cry in the shower

I scream in my head
