Underworld USA

Lyrics

[Verse: 1] They said "The meek shall inherit the earth" Oh God, that seems like so much work I want to sing and dream and drink and cry And let this night pass me by [Pre-Chorus: 1] Take me to the future, I'm ready My affection is so unsteady I can think of tomorrow I can sleep through today As the sun melts the ice caps away [Chorus: 1] I'll carry your cross now, baby It's a blasphemous world today We are the tender missionary From the Underworld USA [Verse: 2] It is so easy to confess When you are guilty of nothing less Than a crooked, wretched, stupid, tepid Indifference [Pre-Chorus: 2] Yeah, take me to your bedroom, I'm ready My complexion is so unsteady I remember tomorrow I forget yesterday I want to move into your body and stay [Chorus: 2] I'll carry your cross now, baby It's a blasphemous world today We are the tender missionary From the Underworld USA I'll bury your pain now, baby Are you happier now, happier now? In the tender cemetery Where we always are Here to stay [Verse: 1] They said "The meek shall inherit the earth" I want to know what it's all worth With a knife in my back And a star in my eye Let this life pass me by [Pre-Chorus: 3] Can you take me to your heaven, I'm ready I know the weight of my heart is too heavy I will love you with all of the love that I have Even if that means there's none left for me [Bridge:] Left for me, left for me Left for me, left for me [Chorus: 2] I'll carry your cross now, baby It's a blasphemous world today We are the tender missionary From the Underworld USA I'll bury your pain now, baby Are you happier now, happier now? In the tender cemetery Where we always are Here to stay [Outro:] A cosmic kiss in the dead of night A curse lifted under streetlight I will love you in the future forever Until my heart explodes And it will
