Alive in the Septic Tank

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'll be your hired gun The lump between your lungs I'll be that hunk of moulded plastic In Egyptian sun, and [Refrain] I am hope I am fear I am hope I am fear I am hope I am fear [Verse 2] Beyond Mount Zion lies A Southmere Lake high-rise Where I wrote ten zillion words of Shakespeare As they hit my white eyes [Refrain] I am hope I am fear I am hope (I am fear) I am fear (Ooh) I am hope I am fear [Chorus] I'm in the falling rain I'm in your early grave I'm in the shit between where Hell and Heaven look the same I'm on the highest plane I've died a thousand ways I hang in limbo 'cause your Saviour looked the other way [Break] Preach [Verse 3] As mortals we can try And oh, good Lord, you'll try But you can't ever offend everyone All at the same time [Refrain] I am hope I am fear I am hope I am fear I am hope I am hope I am fear I am hope I am fear I am hope [Chorus] I'm in the falling rain I'm in your early grave I'm in the shit between where Hell and Heaven look the same I'm on the highest plane I've died a thousand ways I hang in limbo 'cause your Saviours, they all look the same [Bridge] We all look the same (Same) And we all judge the same (Same) And we are bound to wind up lovers 'Cause we look the same And we all fuck the same (Same) And we'll all die the same (Same) And in this finite cosmos Best believe me when I say [Refrain] I am hope I am fear I am hope I am fear I am hope I am hope I am fear I am hope I am fear I am hope
