Sinner Lyrics

Sing it anyone got my eyes got my face
Sing it everyone got my nose got my blood
Conscience plays upon me now
Safe until my luck runs out
Cuckoos call, pendulum swings
I thought you knew everything
Lift my hands make the cross

Sinner, I have never learned
Beginner, I cannot return
Forever, I must walk this earth
Like some forgotten soldier

These things I should keep to myself
But I feel somehow strangely compelled
Under moonlight I stood wild and naked
Felt no shame just my spirit awakened
Sinner

Sing it everything got my eyes got my face
Fireball drop from the sky
All my dreams have come to pass
Where's my faith, is it lost
Can't see it till I cast it off

Sinner, there is no such thing
Beginner, I have learned to sing
Forever, I must walk this earth
Like some forgotten soldier

Today I am still disconnected
To the face that I saw in the clouds
And the closest I get to contentment
Is when all of the barriers come down

Sinner
These things I should keep to myself
But I feel somehow strangely compelled
And the closest I get to contentment
Is when all of the barriers come down
Sinner

Sinner
Sinner
Got my eyes got my face
See it anyone got my nose got my blood
I must walk this earth
See it anyone got my eyes got my face
I must walk this earth
See it anyone got my eyes got my face

Amazing song yet haunting. I'd love to listen to it in my dark room. I guess the singer says about his disconnection to love. I dont know. ANyone has a better idea ?. Please mail me , please

I read that (at least in part) it's about Neil as a little kid streaking in his backyard. Though that could have been him playing silly buggers with the journalist.

Neil has never been shy to confess his 'status' as a lapsed Catholic. This must be about that. Talking about 'make the cross' and the like. I love the paradox where he speaks of instead of getting contentment from religion, he gets it from the release of inhibition and free-expresison, which is what music so capably achieves.
