Televangelism

lyrics

Is it pain or rust
Is it something I can trust
Is it plain or something I can die for
Is it a dagger thrust
Is it something that I must
do for you and your phony little helpers

Life is pale and fast
when you fail to last
everything is hidden right behind you
Life is pale and fast
when you fail to last
everything is coming up roses

A bigger television set
and a wider maisonette
how could life ever be brighter
You got a decorative seam
shoe boxes full of dreams
how could dying ever be lighter

Life is great and vast
when you grace the past
like a bucket full of thorns in a bed of roses
