Parenthetical Girls - Brimstone & Vaseline lyrics

Did it ever cross your mind? Does this come as some surprise? So you took us for a ride Until the scales fell from my eyes Put your petulance aside And for a second, quell your pride Jesus, have you lost your mind? Because all I lost was time Wait Watch me walk away We fled down the fire escape & you felt betrayed A grown man of forty Jesus, act your age d**h tucked between two legs But never himself to blame Had this ever crossed your mind? How could this come as some surprise? Semi-conscious all this time & then the scales fell from my eyes Does it help to ease your mind? Did this help you sleep at night? Jesus, have you lost your mind? Well, you're well within your rights Good grief Thrown in stark relief A car fire of vanities Wonders never cease & what's left to slay the beast? The Sword of Damocles? Or hung from the Jesus piece Made from his baby teeth? Has this ever crossed your mind In all your spiteful little life? Has it flashed before your eyes & did you ever question why? Look, I know this hurt your pride But for the first time in your life Put your petulance aside & pull the blinders from your eyes
