Scribes and the Pharisees mind A woman approached me all bent and repentant I blessed her and sent her wherever she went Will these followers ever stop doggin' me now That I've thrown off this stone and got loose somehow? A life that you try to put into a grave Comes back every Easter to haunt you and save But my nature is wounded and bloodied and hung From a cross for my sins and the sins of everyone Oh those sins of everyone I'm jealous goddamnit, I'm Christ and I'm jealous And angry and sad and oh Father please tell us I'm human and God and I'm animal too As I listen to her going on about you
