As Big As Christ

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Gotta get out of here before the rain comes in Even though you swear up and down you're my friend Parting won't be sweet, sweet sorrow Thank God I won't have to wake up with you tomorrow [Chorus] In the middle of this long, drawn-out session In the middle of your gathering depression Pardon me if I interpose a question Big as Christ Smaller than your life [Verse 2] I don't know why I feel such great dissatisfaction Maybe I don't stand in the place where I work and take affirmative action Baby, when I sleep around, it's a come-and-go reaction I've been victimized, hypnotized by the latest distraction [Chorus] In the middle of this long, drawn-out session In the middle of your gathering depression Pardon me if I interpose a question Big as Christ Smaller than your life [Verse 3] See, I have no motivation I have no N.A. drive I've got no hunger, fascination With the higher things in life Friends say they're so happy Friends say they're well-fed They're well-drugged and laid and entertained So beautiful and deadly boring [Chorus] In the middle of this long, drawn-out session In the middle of your gathering depression Pardon me if I interpose a question Big as Christ Smaller than your life [Accordion Solo] Big as Christ [Verse 4] Can't you see the landmines So well-placed Underneath the skin? Set to go off in your face How can I hear Your voice With the noise in my head? All the clamor for attention From the dying and the dead Hey, can I come in my chains? Can I come empty-handed? Can I come empty-hearted? You say You demand it I lie to myself It's long-overdue Try to make myself believe The truth isn't true [Chorus] In the middle of this long, drawn-out session In the middle of your gathering depression Pardon me if I interpose a question Big as Christ Smaller than my life [Outro] Smaller than my life Smaller than my life
