[00:00.00]And If Venice Is Sinking - Spirit of the West
[00:18.07]Jesus hangs behind the glass
[00:22.06]Above venitian doors
[00:25.87]His window box boasts crimson flowers
[00:29.11]Fresh cut the day before
[00:33.04]And you couldn't find a smile
[00:36.29]If you nailed it to his face
[00:39.22]But Jesus Christ hangs his head with grace
[00:46.02]And if Venice is sinking
[00:49.39]I'm going under
[00:54.63]Cause beauty's religion
[00:57.19]And its Christened me with wonder
[01:01.08]
[01:16.62]They come in bent backed
[01:19.43]Creeking cross the floor all dressed in black
[01:22.92]Candles thick as pillars
[01:25.91]You can buy one off the floor
[01:30.10]And the ceiling's painted gold
[01:33.34]Mary's hair is red
[01:38.15]The old come here to kiss their dead
[01:43.89]And if Venice is sinking
[01:47.57]I'm going under
[01:51.25]Cause beauty's religion
[01:55.12]And its Christened me with wonder
[02:01.77]
[02:16.87]We made love upon a bed
[02:20.36]That sagged down to the floor
[02:24.36]In a room that had a postcard on the door
[02:31.21]Of Marini's Little Man
[02:34.21]With an erection on a horse
[02:37.90]It always leaves me laughing
[02:42.45]Leaves me feeling that of course if
[02:45.69]Venice is sinking
[02:48.88]I'm going under
[02:50.32]
[02:53.27]Cause beauty's religion
[02:55.45]And its Christened me with wonder
