Bethlehem - Will Butler

Our past is in a graveyard

Makin' stew out of the bones

And a neighbor’s gonna call the cops again

Although it’s better left alone

In the sky, the birds are circlin'

If I ask them to, will they

Lead me to my grave?

How does it feel

To know the torch is in your hand?

This fake skin

Oh, it could make you sick

Make you understand

That the only word is fire

And the only song is the

Singing of the flame

And if there’s some revelation

It isn’t in my hand

Oh, if there’s some celebration

I haven’t heard the plan

Oh, la la la la la la la la

Let me lose my head

Let me close my eyes in the ashes of love

And in the light I’ll join the dead

'Cause the best have no position

And the worst are full of

Passionate belief

Under my head

You know the dream is lyin' dead

Under my heart

Oh where the breath begins, it begins again

If you ask for me tomorrow

I’ll be in the sky, I’ll be

Blowin' in the wind

And if there’s some revelation

It isn’t in my hand

Oh, if there’s some celebration

I haven’t heard the plan

Oh, la la la la la la la la

Let me lose my head

Let me close my eyes in the ashes of love

And in the light I’ll join the dead

'Cause the best have no position

And the worst are full of

Passionate belief

(But it wasn’t like he said)

(The sun was down, the birds were gone)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, la la la la la la la la

Let me lose my head

Let me close my eyes in the ashes of love

And in the light I’ll join the dead

'Cause the best have no position

And the worst are full of

Passionate belief
