Mean Looking Jesus

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They say to turn the other cheek But I'm flat down to bone I try to lay me down to sleep And I pray when I'm alone But sleep won't come My prayers are no more comfort from the cold All I want is someone's hand to hold [Verse 2] I thought God was love And Jesus had the most of all But the look there in his beady eyes Could make a strong man crawl I did my best to follow Shepherd, sheep, the Father's call That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall [Chorus] That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall He's not gonna save you, and He won't come when you call Hanging from that marble cross, glaring down the hall That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall [Verse 3] The piano's on its side now The carpet is a mess Picture that you hung so proud Your graduation dress But you keep calling out His name Who left you in this squall And that's a mean looking Jesus on your wall [Chorus] That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall He's not gonna save you and He won't come when you call Hanging from that marble cross, glaring down the hall That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall [Bridge] God so loved the world God so loved the world [Verse 4] In the end the darkness In the end despair Everything you learned by rote Will leave you hanging there And yes, He is mysterious Who never saved you yet Why He has forsaken you is anybody's bet [Chorus] That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall He's not gonna save you and He won't come when you call Hanging from that marble cross, glaring down the hall That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus A mean looking Jesus on your wall That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall
