lyrics

I'm hanging on the cross that you made for me
(I want to thank you. I've gotta thank you.)
The next time I see you, I should tell you
What a friend you've been
(I want to thank you. I want to thank you.)

You sold my defenses
Sold my defenses
Sold my defenses for lust
You sold my defenses
Sold my defenses
I'm stoned, blind, defenseless and lost

I'm hanging on your tree of deceit
I'm cold and cursed, stoned and bereaved
I've got this feeling you would not believe
But if you look in my eyes, they will talk to you
And they will tell you I'm fucked

It's too easy to hate the evil that you are
(God bless you. God bless you.)
The worst you can do is turn me to a superstar
(God'll get you. God'll get you.)

You sold my defenses
Sold my defenses
Sold my defenses for lust
You sold my defenses
Sold my defenses
You sold out my message of love

I'm hanging on your tree of deceit
I'm cold and cursed, stoned and bereaved
I've got this feeling you would not believe
But if you look in my eyes, they will talk to you
And they will tell you I'm fucked

You offer up my body and you martyr your soul
(Victory. . . Victory)
You won't know what you've done until my body is cold
(Victory. . . Victory)

I'm caught and dragged it seems for a thousand miles
Blood and sweat stings my eyes as my soul hits the skies
To the joy of your misplaced smiles

I'm hanging on your tree of deceit
I'm cold and cursed, stoned and bereaved
I've got this feeling you would not believe
But if you look in my eyes, they will talk to you
And they will tell you I'm fucked
