Don't let me down, don't let me end before I've started I'm in so deep, my head has buckled like an old tin drum Make it known before the punters have departed I come to suffer for the length of just a song Nail up a stranger, I will be your savior Nail up a stranger, I'll be your man I've been searching for a hill to die on You been waiting for me, mama There's a place that I got my eye on It's where I ought to be, mama Now baby, baby, there was something I was chasing What it was, I can't remember for the life of me Something in the room tonight reminds me of embracing I'd sooner have it that you pin me to a tree I am the answer, I am the light I am the answer, I will be your man I've been searching for a hill to die on You've been waiting for me, mama There's a place that I got my eye on It's where I long to be, mama Send out for my hammer, baby Send out for my nails And Heaven knows I deserve this Dying on my fucking hill So you can do just what you want with me And leave my body where you will Just crucify me now Do it now I did not ask much of this congregation Standing and shivering in the fine light rain, oh baby I felt just like the brave man of Tiananmen Square Or like that old Tom Joad Hefting the world of pain on my shoulders Tell 'em boys (crucify me now) So I walked on to the gates of the city park (crucify me now) Scorching lines in the hot tarmac road (crucify me now) I was bleeding my silver trail of medicine (crucify me now) I cried, "Baby, forgive me, everything" (crucify me now) Crucify me now (Crucify me now) (Crucify me now) (Crucify me now) goddamn, oh honey, don't you understand (Crucify me now) oh, man, I'm your man (Crucify me now) (Crucify me now) (Crucify me now) (Crucify me now) (Crucify me now) (Crucify me now) that's all we got time for tonight (Crucify me now)
