St. Vincent - Jesus Saves, I Spend lyrics

While Jesus is saving
I'm spending all my days
In backgrounds and landscapes with
The languages of saints
While people are spinning like
Toys on Christmas Day
I'm inside a still life
With the other absentee

While Jesus is saving
I'm spending all my days
In the garden-grey pallor of
Lines across your face
While people will cheer on
The spectacle we've made
I'm sitting and sculpting
Menageries of saints

Oh, my man, my absentee
I'd do anything to please, you
Come, my love, the stage is waiting
Be the one to save my saving grace

While Jesus is saving
I'm spending all my grace
On the rosy-red pallor of
Lights on center stage
While people have cheered on the
Awful mess we've made
Through storms of red roses
We've exited the stage
