He made an enemy then
he made an enemy of all of you
It's him, not you
You never heard it from me
But there's a breech in the hull where the truth
And the water's too deep to prove
He made an enemy then
He made an enemy of all of you
It's him, not you
It's a little red sea
Let the miracle worker go free
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
And a man falls in the sea
He was a man of many nations
Had a hundred souls and a hundred to go
He was a man of many nations
Two hearts, two hands, it's a slippery slope
He had a fear of being naked
But you're any other man in another man's clothes
He was a man of many nations
With revelations, oh revelations
He wrote a book about the Bible
He wrote a book about men in the sky
He wrote a book about the smell of the winter and then two...
A little less simple to decipher
Saying "I am the water at the foot of the palms,
Or I am sand and wind, and a s***** mirage,
But either way, I'm a man of many nations!"
Was it the mending of the gown,
Or the running it around?
Was it the mending of the gown,
Or the running and the running it around?
She had a name, she had a spirit
She had a line in the play if you waited to hear it
But a master of disguises...
Her demise was her design, they said
"Was it the mending of the gown
or the running and the running and the running it around?"
She said: "My name and my spirit are both corrupted
If you hold me close you gotta hold me up!
It was the tender meaning of this slender gown
That brought me bending to the ground
Now you'll wear any old thing, oh you'll wear any old thing
So she wrapped herself in swaddling
That the fever deviated to a broken wing
"It's an act, I think she's just pretending"
"It's an act, I think she's just pretending"
And I will burn the virgin flags
And I will shake (shake) as the heat waves in the sand
This one's for Maggie (This one's for Maggie)
This one's for Sam (This one's for Sam)
This one's for Maggie (This one's for Maggie)
This one's for Sam (This one's for Sam)
Or any other random spirit lover busted
I have l***ed after you
The way bloodsuckers do
The way bloodsuckers do
The way bloodsuckers do
Was it the mending of the gown,
Or the running it around?
Was it the mending of the gown,
Or the running it around?
It was the tender mending of this slender gown
That brought me bending to the ground
But this ship was built to go down
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh
he made an enemy of all of you
