The Rope Lyrics - Singles - Bitter's Kiss

Who are you trying to impress when you pray, 

Do you fear you'll be graded by god? 

How many things can go on in a day 

That you stay on your knees so long? 

Are you praying for the poor and the dying 

Or the drought-stricken starving for rain? 

Are you asking why it hurts when you smile? 

Are you thankful for the pain? 

I have sat through your church service 

Listening for a word I could embrace 

Staring into the preacher's eyes 

Searching for the soul behind the face 

Do your angels keep you waiting? 

How much longer can you cope? 

There's a quicker way to heaven 

If you can find yourself a rope 

I have walked through your old streets 

Looking for the life you threw away 

When you sold your sight at the setting sun, 

Was it too high a price to pay? 

Pray for the saints and the sinners 

Under blue skies or crying in the rain 

Ever wonder why it hurts when you smile? 

Are you tired of the pain? 

Do your angels keep you waiting? 

How much longer can you cope? 

I can pull you up to heaven 

If you can find yourself a rope
