Lyrics for Jesus Christ as interpreted by EMOrtal

Jesus Christ Lyrics
Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
If they don't put me away
It値l be a miracle

Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
With nobody in your bed
The night is hard to get through

And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won稚 know anyone

Jesus Christ, I知 alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Because this problem is gonna last
More than the weekend

Jesus Christ I知 not scared to die
But I知 a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot
Or do I float through the ceiling

Or do I divide and pull apart
Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
This ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?

I know you're coming in the night like a thief
But I致e had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I知 someone you can trust
But I知 scared I値l get scared and I swear I値l try to nail you back up
So do you think that we could work out a sign
So I値l know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try
I know you're coming for the people like me
But we all got wood and nails
And we turn out hate in factories
We all got wood and nails
And we turn out hate in factories
We all got wood and nails
And we sleep inside of this machine

I know you'll come in the night like a thief.
(So throw your tongue in mine, I know it's soooo hard breathing in alone, and you were right, I know I said you were wrong. I always said you were wrong)
But I致e had some time alone, to hold my lions at bay.

That's the background vocals at that point.

One of the most amazing songs ever. I can't turn it off. This song shows the growth in the band, and it's incredible. I wish I could marry this song.

Remind anyone else of Modest Mouse during the "I will die" part?

Do I divide and pull apart?

(not fall apart?) lol

I agree though, i think it is tongue tied and hatin' factory, it'd make.. a little more sense?

i keep hearing psalm though. but sign would make more sense.

what really kills me about this song is how brand new manages to control the song's intensity. it builds up and builds up, then pulls back a little, til the wood and nails part... then once that's over you're left with the realization that that was the big breakdown. it's a beautifully written song to say the absolute least.

oh and it's "my bright is, too slight*, to hold back all my dark".

It might be "We all got wood and nails, you're tortured and hatin' factory.." at the end. But i'm not sure.

..........okay enough of my anal-ness with lyrics.

i totally agree with you omgitsfinkel - the fact that they held in the intensity and controlled it so well was perfected in this song. this song gives me chills down my spine.

this song kind of makes me paranoid about what happens when you die, especially because I don't believe in God haha..

I would also like to add that the beginning of the song, like the way Jesses singing, sounds like the beginning of hate me by blue october. Not that it really matters or anything.
