GusGus, Emilíana Torrini - Is Jesus Your Pal? lyrics

Is Jesus your pal? Do you call out his name
When your conscience is shivering?

Do you need someone too
Just like those people who
Find peace in someone's promises?
You sure don't need my promises

So come and sit on my box
Enjoy the view of this water
Where my lifeboat is sinking
If you open your eyes
Take a look at this mess
Could you fake your reflection, child?

If you reach out for more
You'll find nothing but sorrow
'Cause knowledge is hollow
And pride is hard to swallow

So come and sit on my box
Enjoy the view of this water
Where my lifeboat is sinking
