Flicker and Fail lyrics

He took a bus to meet me

In a bar in a Tuscan hill

A sight I'd never seen

I believe in God still

But, wouldn't be able to stop me if I feel like running away

Wouldn't be able to stop me if I didn't want to stay

And the rain fell on the houses

And the rain fell on the trees

It fell its fiercest on the skulls of the willingly deceased

They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is

They put money in their hearts and God

Said he'd been sleeping lonely spending nights under the stars

Little darling, we're all lonely we don't all show our scars

This is my heart and my burden

And I would never bring you down like that

My heart, my burden

I would never bring you down with me

And the rain fell on the towers

And on the (?) swaying trees

And it hammered and raged on us unwillingly

The believers were forewarned and they ran into the storm

And watched the Earth's light flicker and fail

They watched the Earth's light flicker and fail

Flicker and

Flicker and fail

They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is

They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is

They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is

They put money in their hearts and God
