lyrics

It seems this modern age is leaving me behind
I watch Jesus on his motorbike go by
I was struck by his speed, his stature
Who knew a dead man looked so good in leather
I smoked cigarettes with Kerouak, drank with Marilyn Monroe
I read Bible verse with God in his Hollywood hotel
He said son, oh son, if it were up to me, he wouldn't ride that bike so fast down the street

They sing, oh my love you know, you don't need to feel anymore

It seems this modern age is leaving you behind
You're watching Christ being crucified online
You stand at his feet, you wail and you weep but you've heard that song before
You shook your hips with Elvis, you paid homage to his cat
You read Bible verse with Mary in her East London flat
She said, children, oh children, if you don't believe
You can go and watch a saviour ride a bike down the street

They sing, oh my love you know, you don't need to feel anymore

It seems this modern age has left me behind
I'm seeing ghosts out the corners of my eyes
And the televisions flicker, as the lights grow dim and I try to beg forgiveness for each and every sin
But I couldn't help being born and I couldn't change when
And I tried to find some meaning in those long-dead men
When I look out the window, what do I see?
I see a saviour draped in leather and they're staring back at me

They sing, oh my love you know, you don't need to feel anymore
They sing, oh my love you know, you don't need to feel anymore
