On to Bethlehem Songtext

von Vigilantes of Love

So i'm at this wheel it's three am
Waiting for the caffeine to come around
And life rears it's ugly head again
They say your radio's cool and retail's way down

And i'd like to say i'm faithful
To the task at hand
Speaking gospel to a handful
And others with their list of demands

It's cold this year and i'm late on my dues
It's cold in here ah but that's nothing new
My heart's electric with your love again
So it's on to bethlehem

You might surmise that i ran there
But i really only crept
Lead me to the place where love runs wild
And then it dogs your every step

You know how fickle my heart is
Prone to wonder my Lord
Yeah it's hot but it's at arms length
Always got one eye on the door

God wraps Himself up in human skin
For those who want to touch
And God let them drive the nails in
For those of us who know way too much

You come bearing all our burdens
And take Your lovers for a ride
But we stay holed up in our cages
Fashioned by our own design

So tell me what is your secret
What's on your blister soul
What is that one little secret
You know the one that has taken its toll

'cause daddy's banging on your gate again
Yeah he won't leave you alone
Got a whole lot of dry warm rooms
And the finest of homes
