Oh Jesus (Nick Cave inspired)

Filed under: amy shelver, poetry — ABRAXAS @ 11:54 pm

I am your Jesus
I am your Judas
It’s every Yin Yang

And all the children sang
“Praise the Lord,
dont strangle
us with your umbilical cord.”

But the Lord,
- the Lord wasnt listening,
he was playing with his sword
and deciding the fate of the world

Betray me Judas,
save me Jesus

Hold the mirror up
I’ll drink then of your cup

A child of the dusk
meets a child of the dawn
with the lies that lie in that lust

And that which is the day
and that which is the night
May no woman tear asunder.
Not with all her might.
Not with her motion.

Tell him she has might.
Tell him she has motion.

And all the children sang
“Praise the Lord,
please dont strangle
us with your umbilical cord.”

But the Lord,
- the Lord wasnt listening.
He was playing with his sword
and deciding the fate of the world.
