I'm An Unbeliever Lyrics

B-side to "Just Before You Leave"

Has the light spread, or the darkness shrunk? Do the nights not fall anymore? In the silver chain of lakes I sunk 'Til something hauled me ashore And G-d was watching with his beady eye Salivating, waiting for my cry But then she came by, kicked the angels from the sky

Now I'm an unbeliever 'Cause she's a breathing, walking, talking heathen And I need her

When the darkness came, like a spreading stain I could sometimes feel myself fall Through the black drain of a loveless world To a place where cowards crawl When G-d was watching, I could feel him sneer Easy pickings, pulling prayers from the fear But then she came by, kicked the angels from the sky
And out of nothing, she materialized A vision with her wings missing, she opened up my eyes A mission ready for kissing so the dead could be revived

If G-d is watching, surely he'll despair Another sucker lost to one who's really there 'Cause when she came by, well the angels quit the sky

An unbeliever

I was on my knees, yeah I was sinking deeper I was praying "Please... bring me some relief", yeah My mind was dead, erased I was flesh and blood asking to be saved I was ripe for the grip of some phony holy fellowship And now I need her Now I can feel her Now I can see her Let me testify Without no fear, yeah I'm an unbeliever
