Feels like you're miles from here In other towns with lesser names Where the unholy ghost doesn't tell Mary or William exactly what they want to hear You remember the house on Ridge Road Told you and the devil to both just leave me alone If this is salvation, I can show you the trembling You'll just have to trust me, I'm scared I am the patron saint of lost causes Aren't we all to you just near lost causes? Aren't we all to you just lost? Tommy, you left behind something That'll mean everything right before you die What if you gained the whole world? You've already lost four little souls from your life Widows and orphans aren't hard to find They're home, missing daddy, who's saving the abandoned tonight Wish your drinking would hurry and kill you Sympathy's better than having to tell you the truth That you are the patron saint of lost causes All you are to them is now a lost cause All you are to them is now, causes Billy, don't you understand? Timothy stood as long as he could And now, you made his faith disappear More like a magician and less like a man of the cloth We're not questioning God Just those He chose to carry on His cross We're no better, you'll see Just all of us, the lost causes Aren't we all to you just lost causes? Are we all to you lost, lost causes? So all we are to you is all we are, is all we are All we are is all we are Patron saint, are we all lost like you? Patron saint, are we all lost like you? Patron saint, are we all lost like you? Patron saint, are we all lost like you? Patron saint, are we all lost like you? Patron saint, are we all lost like you? Patron saint, are we all lost like you? Patron saint, are we all lost like you? Patron saint, are we all lost like you? [Incomprehensible] Take what you will, what you will and leave Could you kill, could you kill me? If the world was on fire and nothing was left But hope or desire And take all that I could require, his vision Or am I on the floor, over-desperate Hold hands, streaming of blood again? And then take full weight of me, guard my dreams Figure this out, it's me on my own A helpless, hurting, hell Will you stay strong as you promised? 'Cause I'm stranded and bare Meanness is washed up in all that I am [Incomprehensible] Then grace takes me to a place Of the father you never had Ripping and breaking and tearing apart This is not heaven, this is my hell
