Hospital For Sinners Lyrics - Glad All Over (vinyl Lp + Cd) - The Wallflowers

Some have crosses bells that ring 

Most have angels painted with wings 

Old men and blind ones can find their way in 

Got statues and apostles and other godly things 

In desserts they build them of mortar and clay 

In barrios they stick them by fire escapes 

They outlast the setbacks of earthquakes and plagues 

They burn them like haystacks and another one is raised 

In the backwoods of the country and the empire state 

Wherever there's somebody at the crossroads that waits 

At the junction of right now and a little too late 

You'll see one before you with wide open gates 

It's a hospital for sinners ain't no museum of saints

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

There could be a casket bums on the steps 

A baby in a basket being left 

It's a good place to shuffle when you've gone through the deck 

It's the closest to heaven on earth you can get 

It's a shelter a poor man it'll humble a great 

It's where derelicts and outlaws can hide for a day 

The worst hearts you've known can be salvaged and saved 

In the same room that lovers' vows are exchanged 

It's a hospital for sinners ain't no museum of saints 

You'll sin till you drop 

Then ask to be saved 

If it's a comeback you want 

Then get your hands raised 

Photos 

There's more than a few on nearly every map 

More than a couple alone on this path 

You ought to be in one when you beg your way back 

Cut off at the knees at its feet you'll collapse 

It's a hospital for sinners ain't no museum of saints 

It's a hospital for sinners ain't no museum of saints
