another christ is on the cross

the nails are words

the nails are lies

to make it crawl

and make it scream

and make it real

and make it bleed

and make it bleed

and make it bleed

and make it dream

imitation of christ

imitation of christ

this you who lie and scream

you fall to dust

you fall to dust

in walls of words

your words are blind

you speak and you are dumb and blind

the word that is your god

is you who fall so low and fall so far

imitation of christ

imitation of christ

fly to the moon dear

sew it on a stool

tie on the carpet all the cowboys fall

see the cowboys fat and reeling 

dancing underneath the ceiling

leave the bar the theatre's closing

make a wall of your religion

imitation of christ

imitation of christ

mary mary

mother mother

you and me and 

god the father

jesus is a woman too

he looks like all of me and you

your money talks and 

all your friends 

will laugh at her pathetic tits

imitation of christ
