Flicker and Fail (Live from York Minster)

11.Flicker And Fail

.

He took a bus to meet me

in a bar in a Tuscan hill

Oh a sight I''d never seen,

I believe in God still

But you 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 on the late swaying trees

It fell its fiercest on the skulls

of the willingly deceived

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

It''s 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 late swaying trees

And it hammered and it raged on us unwillingly

And the believers were forewarned,

and they ran into the storm

And watched the earth''s light flicker and fail

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
