And If Venice Is Sinking Lyrics - Spirit Of The West

Jesus hangs behind the glass 

Above venitian doors 

His window box boasts crimson flowers 

Fresh cut the day before 

And you couldn't find a smile 

If you nailed it to his face 

But Jesus Christ hangs his head with grace 

And if Venice is sinking 

I'm going under 

'Cause beauty's religion 

And its Christened me with wonder

Creeping 'cross the floor all dressed in black

You can buy one off the floor 

And the ceiling's painted gold 

Mary's hair is red 

The old come here to kiss their dead 

And if Venice is sinking 

I'm going under 

'Cause beauty's religion 

And its Christened me with wonder 

We made love upon a bed 

That sagged down to the floor 

In a room that had a postcard on the door 

Of Marini's Little Man 

With an erection on a horse 

It always leaves me laughing 

Leaves me feeling that of course if
