Ye Sleeping Knights Of Jesus Lyrics - Hitchcock Robyn

I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus 

Gazing out across the open sea 

I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus 

And they look extremely tired to me 

Dyin' of starvation in the gutter (in the gutter) 

That is all the future holds for me (holds for me) 

Or alcoholic poisoning in the toilet of my choice 

That's all there is, as far as I can see 

Fried to death in seconds by the Russians (by the Russians) 

Or if you're lucky just a sudden stroke (sudden stroke) 

A lingering death from fallout as your teeth and hair fall out 

A certain death from cancer if you smoke 

But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus 

Gazing out across the open sea 

I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus 

And they look extremely tired to me 

Put your faith in God, he won't expect you 

Put your faith in death because it's free 

If you believe in nothing, honey, it believes in you 

For God's sake don't waste any faith on me 

When he comes to judge us in his glory (in his glory) 

Then we'll see how old a man can get (man can get) 

He must be feeling ancient up there on the rim of space 

Two thousand years and he ain't been back yet 

But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus 

Rub their eyes and gape at what they see 

I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus 

And it looks as though they've noticed me 

And it looks as though they've noticed me
