Passion Play lyrics

Artist  : Ian Janis 
Song : Passion Play



 Send "Passion Play" Ringtone to your Cell 

 												
														   She came from Dakota

 Though some say she hailed from the South

 He tried to believe but each time she would
leave

 With the venom that dripped from her mouth

 Like some angel of old

 Bent on saving the soul

 Drugged to the knees he would pray

 To some rude Russian icon

 That twined like a python

 And blinded the sun, night, and day

 He'd say

 

   Please bring me peace

   You say you'll stay

   Just to leave me whole

   All of my soul your passion play

 

 Though she lies to amuse

 She lies to confuse

 Passion with vision and pain

 He lies for possession and time

 Though there's no time to gain

 Squandering feeling

 Constantly stealing away

 From the sound of her name

 Is like thunder and lightning

 Hiding the sound of the rain

 And he'd say

 

   [CHORUS]

 

 So he searches for truth

 In the beauty that once was her name

 Senselessly trusting in time to remind her

 Blind, she came

 Suddenly rootless

 Fashionably useless

 Magically fruitless and time

 Like some Sunday scholar

 Who lives off the squalor

 Of yesterday's knowledge and fame

 And he'd say

 

   [CHORUS]

 

 Well some overdose

 And some wrap like a rose

 'Round the slick perfumed nose 

 of high noon

 Burning their lips

 As they stoop low to kiss

 Some rich man's excuse for the moon

 I must have been lucky --

 Got out with my body intact

 And tomorrow in tune

 But it's this sense of time

 That wraps like a vine

 'Round the neck of the sun and the moon

 

   [CHORUS]
