If I told you I thought you were the son of God
You would spit in my face with a wink and a nod
Let everybody know how you shrugged it off
But holy shit, how good you would look on a cross
In a few years’ time I wonder how you will tell
Every turn in the tale of how you found yourself
You were waiting for you on a cloud somewhere
But it wasn’t your fault if no one could follow you there
And when you come down
If you ever come down
Make sure you pick the right circles
When you ask around
And if you don't hear
Exactly what you'd hoped
Make sure you laugh the loudest
Like you were in on the joke
And if you bowed out now, I know you know you’d be missed
The man who loved every woman that he ever kissed
He unraveled himself all in the name of art
With a voice from the bottom of everybody else’s hearts
And when you come down
If you ever come down
Make sure you pick the right circles
When you ask around
And if you don't hear
Exactly what you'd hoped
Make sure you laugh the loudest
Like you were in on the joke
When you finally look will you feel some relief
To see the tight-lipped smile that’s hanging on me
But I'm just hiding all the blood from the tongue that I bit
And I’ll be damned if the devil ever really needs an advocate
