Godspell
by Bauhaus
I heard about a great big swindle
I read about it in a book
the book flew out the window
was later found by thieves and crooks
I read about it in a book
the book flew out the window
was later found by thieves and crooks
and now they're singing hallelujah
I wonder just what did they find
they said eh what's it to yah
just take a place in line
I wonder just what did they find
they said eh what's it to yah
just take a place in line
and wait, so I wait
I wait, and wait and I...
I wait, and wait and I...
I'm one of a few survivors
in a drawer labeled lost and found
though troubled and some deep sea divers
who's oxygens supply ran out
in a drawer labeled lost and found
though troubled and some deep sea divers
who's oxygens supply ran out
now maybe if their gods be willing
they'll give us something to fill our empty cups
sit down in the boat dont spill it
or we'll just have to line back up
they'll give us something to fill our empty cups
sit down in the boat dont spill it
or we'll just have to line back up
and wait,
so we wait,
we wait and wait,
yes we wait,
and we wait,
we can wait,
we will wait till we...
so we wait,
we wait and wait,
yes we wait,
and we wait,
we can wait,
we will wait till we...
[guitar solo rawr]
you can hear it in the beat they march to
you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
you can tell by the way they move you
its not murder its an act of faith, baby
you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
you can tell by the way they move you
its not murder its an act of faith, baby
and as the world moves faster
whip lashing us around and round
its quite a slow disaster
and people keep on falling down
whip lashing us around and round
its quite a slow disaster
and people keep on falling down
yes we wait,
we wait,
and we wait,
we wait,
and we wait,
we wait.
we wait,
and we wait,
we wait,
and we wait,
we wait.
hallelujah!
