Teen Lament Lyrics - Singles - Band De Soleil

I was holding an invitation 

to meet some danger 

around the corner from an evil love affair 

Something told me feet get tread 

to be moving 'cause 

I felt like I weren't going anywhere 

I took a walk past the church house 

of my family 

the one that left me feeling solo and for dead 

I was sickly with all those ghosts 

floating in my bottle 

so I poured them in the pavement and I said 

If Jesus is coming, he better come on 

If Jesus is coming, he better come on 

'cause I'm tired of running 

I'll get what's coming 

down at the altar of my youth 

I snuck in through the oak doors 

of the chapel 

and I lay my weary body on the pew 

red crushed velvet 'neath my halo 

I was ready to see his face 

and I tell him exactly 

what he could do 

The sun came shining through 

the stained glass. 

I must've fallen fast asleep 

through the night 

then something told me 

feet get ready to be moving 

'cause I felt like shedding 

some of the light
