C                   F
The sinner’s in the hospital room

The saint is in the bed

The city smells of vicious perfume

All I need’s some direction

I fear that this font is dry

If we could talk about it

Throw our arms around it we could make a change

We could shout about it

Spill some blood around it and make the same mistakes
