The city is spread, reach to the heavens
This cloud cover breathing the soft and rain
Yes, I'm good looking, oh yes, I have money
Don't it count for nothin' over there, don't it count for nothin'
Don't it count for nothin' over there
The snow falls dirty, we watch our blue TV
Educated, educated in monotony
Rains won't let me see, the acid fallin' from the sky
The bloody tears in your eyes
This is my hymn, it's the only one I know
This is my hymn, lift it up to you, I lift it up to you
My heart can't quite reach to the heavens
Lyin' face down in unbelief, love or money can't fill it up
This empty space that keeps runnin' deep
Is it true you love me? You're the only one I need
One sweet flower of ease in the bitterest hell
Is your voice, is your voice to me
Whisper your love gentle, could you really love me?
Never disenchanted, disappointed, in me you believe
I will lie down waitin', I will cry waitin'
I will work waitin', waitin' for your love
This is my hymn, it's the only one I know
This is my hymn, I'm screamin' out to you
I'm screamin' out to you, screamin' out to you
Screamin' out to you
