lyrics

When the minus signs add up just turn half of them on their side
Bring them both together please God I'm begin' you

I haven't loved I am gone I'm the great king of Babylon
Grazing in the wild like a beast unrecognizable to all who sees all who sees.

The truth has passed me by and I didn't see it or I didn't want to
And these lips I use to kiss just turn things bitter turn them rotten.
If you'd send your holy blessing, shine in these blinded eyes
If you'd spit in the dirt, mud up these darkened skies.

I haven't loved I am gone I'm the great king of Babylon
Grazing in the wild like a beast unrecognizable to all who sees all who sees.

I could see the truth and I could believe again
But I can't love the way I used to love cause I'm down I am dirty
Am I forgotten?

And these blessings that you'll give seem far away.

When the minus signs add up just turn half of them on their side
Bring them both together please God I'm begin' you
