You Ain't No Patron Saint

Lewd Acts


how could this be true? 
i looked up to you 
with a kinked neck 
and dreams wrecked 
ambition's beat 
black and blue 
i've been knocked down before 
yeah, i've been let down 
but never again 
picking the gravel out my elbows 
dusting off the shame and sorrow 
beat up 
let down 
i've got to get up off the ground 
i've been knocked down before 
i've been let down 
butn ever again 
i'm not a saint and neither are you 
what i thought was your halo 
was an ill fitting noose 
scraped up 
banged up 
i'm bloodied and bruised 
but i'll never be as fucked up 
fucked up as you 
now you'll be the one who looks up to me
