Tantalus

I’m addicted to a feeling that I am what I believe in
Wear Satan on a t-shirt with a Judas on the reverse
It was nothing
I just gave up, I have made up, I have stood on the tightrope and stayed up
We’ve been washed up , we have cleaned up, we have bought in madness and paid up
All the while people stare and the wheels keep rolling
All the children need repair but the world keeps spinning
There must be something good inside
There must be something good inside
We’re never any closer, never any closer but we try
I saw Jesus, he can’t pay for what he needs or what he came for
We have feasted, we have fasted, we have cleansed out every bastard
All the while people stare and the wheels keep rolling
All the children need repair but the world keeps spinning
There must be something good inside
There must be something good inside
We’re never any closer, mever any closer but we try
But we try
I have been stuck here for days
I have been caught in your gaze
I have been trying to save face
One mouth, two eyes, once fooled, twice blind
There must be something good inside
There must be something good inside
We’re never any closer, never any closer but we try
But we try
I have been stuck here for days
I have been caught in your gaze
I have been trying to save face.
