lirik lagu callan holder - chalcopyrite calf

well the kid from jerusalem with holes in his hands called a cab but the cab didn’t come
checkpoint frenchmen with english pounds and american guns
and your man from the broadcasting company steepled his fingers
fixed his mouth with praise at all that the lord had done
we were hauling down prayers from the tops of the stairs while the bas~m~nt rushed up in a flood
the malach ha~mavet’s got a paint bucket, he’s hiding the ram’s blood
but til the motorcade passes and the army advances
we will each be a calvary all on our own
it’s always been harder at home

while you debated the chants and the slogans
while a thousand innocent died
you crosses between civil servants and theologians
made the sign of the cross and then shielded your eyes
made the sign of the cross and then shielded your eyes

well the kid from jerusalem with holes in his hands prayed for rain but the rain didn’t fall
there’s a penalty whenever you break protocol
he said “take care that you’re never so faithful that god calls to give you a job;
you don’t ever want to be too faithful ’cause god expects an awful lot.”
then he pulled out a packet of still photographs
there were locusts in smoke
a chalcopyrite calf
there was zeal and hasbara
there was innocent blood
there were the ruins of cities and the ruins of love
there were shattered commandments and the cynical handshakes of diplomats
a market spike, and a bank draft
the ten o clock broadcast began with “o death
where is your sting?”
the cobalt will come through c~n~ls red with blood, it will never run clean
o coalition forces, o liberal darlings
where is your victory?
where is your center of gravity?
where is your king?

well the kid from jerusalem
called a cab
but the cab
didn’t come

and the kid from jerusalem
prayed for rain
but the rain didn’t fall
no the rain didn’t fall
