lyrics

Christopher leaves his hide and goes outside
Close the demon follows him
Space in place of faces he can’t recognise
Eyes that seem to swallow him
Saint Christopher, what kind of god have you become?
Saint Christopher, now you have lost your holy charm

But Christopher has the patience of a saint
He has an eternity
He’s immune to love and he’s immune to hate
Something of an entity
Saint Christopher, trying so hard to be divine
Saint Christopher, why does your sermon make me cry?

Chris avoids all temptation in his way
Plays the good disciple
Wears his heart around his neck upon a chain
Prays from dawn ‘til nightfall
Saint Christopher, how in heaven’s name do you survive?
Saint Christopher, now there is nothing to forgive

Saint Christopher, what kind of god have you become?
Saint Christopher, now you have lost your holy charm
Saint Christopher, trying so hard to be divine
Saint Christopher, why does your sermon make me cry?
