 He could fall and shake and weep, as holy are my feet 
 And heart with mention the dear they may not speak 
 We feel tight when there is tension 
 And our eyes can make us weep

 Verse 2: 
  
 And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become 
 And his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun 
 Could embrace sweet desires in moments as they pass 
 But he feared ever more, he saw it didn't last

 Verse 3: 
  
 We'd walk up Holland Avenue, And watch the rich as they consume 
 That product made our hearts exude, an emptiness unrivalled by 
 The hunger that I could control 
 He'd pray up to his God that he might save their soul

 Verse 4: 
  
 You'll work your thumbs til they're sore 
 And you'll work my heart til it's raw 
 And you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told 
 And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall 
 And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
