Jesus Almost Got Me

There's a keyhole in my can of beer

And there's an eye behind it

Sizing me up and sizing me down

My hangover's becoming a thorny crown

And dawn is coming over me

Love is cruel

Love is truly absurd

Jesus almost got me

I don't know how many prayers he overheard

There's no relief in the garden

The morning birds are like nerves

The hand of the man that stilled the water

The hand that calmed the sea

Is pouring a drink for me

Love is cruel

Love is truly absurd

Jesus almost got me

I don't know how many prayers he overheard
