Jesus Christ Pose lyrics

[1st Verse:]

And you stare at me in your Jesus Christ pose:

arms held out like you've been carrying a load.

And you swear at me

you don't want to be my slave.

But you're staring at me...

[1st Chorus:]

...like I, like I need to be saved, saved.

Like I need to be saved, saved !

In your Jesus Christ pose,

in your Jesus Christ pose.

[2nd Verse:]

Arms held out in your Jesus Christ pose ;

thors and shroud like it's the coming of the Lord.

And I swear to you I would never feed your pain.

But you're staring at me...

[2nd Chorus:]

...like I, like I'm driving the nails, nails.

Like I'm driving the nails, nails !

Like I'm driving the nails,

nails, nails.

Like I'm driving the nails !

In your Jesus Christ pose,

in your Jesus Christ pose.

[Bridge:]

Arms held out in your Jesus Christ pose ;

thorns and shroud like it's the coming of the Lord.

Would it pain you more to walk on water

or to wear a crown of thorns ?

[3rd Chorus:]

It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich

than to bury you poor !

In your Jesus Christ pose,

in your Jesus Christ pose.
