I've been listening to shining serpents I've been dazzled by snakes with wings I've been haunting ancient churches In search of you I've been taking a lot of chances Still receiving the strangest glances I'm always doing the oddest dances In praise of you I stumble 'round like a god man slain Crucified by the sound of your name I stumble 'round like a god man slain For you The mind forgets, the heart remembers The will resists, the soul surrenders I'm in the world of dying embers In search of you Summer days and blazing colors Beating wings the size of lovers Every word we said I still recall I stumble 'round like a god man slain Crucified by the sound of your name I stumble 'round like a god man slain For you I stumble 'round like a god man slain For you I stumble 'round like a god man slain For you I've been talking with foreign angels I've been risking the gravest dangers I've been seen by the eyes of strangers In search of you I hang around in the pouring rain Shy boy with a permanent flame I keep the faith I hide my shame From you I stumble 'round like a god man slain Still calling out your blessed name I stumble 'round like a god man slain For you Stumbling 'round like a god man slain
