A Pillar of Salt - The Thermals

We were born to sin

We were born to sin!

We don’t think we’re special sir

We know everybody is

We built too many walls

Yeah we built too many walls!

And now we gotta' run

A giant fist is out to crush us

We run in the dark

We run in the dark!

We don’t carry dead weight long

We send them along to heaven

I carry my baby

I carry my baby!

Her eyes can barely see

Her mouth can barely breathe

I can see she’s afraid

She can see the danger

And we don’t want to die

Or apologize

For our dirty god

Our dirty bodies

Now I stick to the ground

I stick to the ground!

I won’t look twice at dead walls

I don’t want my wife a pillar of salt

I carry my baby

I carry my baby!

Her eyes can barely see

Her mouth can barely breathe

I can see she’s afraid

That’s why we’re escaping

So we won’t have to die

We won’t have to deny

Our dirty god

Our dirty bodies!
