Old Ideas
Tell me again when 
I've been to the river 
And I've taken the edge off my thirst 
Tell me again we're alone and I'm listening 
Listening so hard that it hurts 
Tell me again when I'm clean and I'm sober 
Tell me again when I've seen through the horror 
Tell me again tell me over and over 
Tell me that you'll want me then 


Amen Amen Amen Amen


Tell me again when the victims are singing 
And the laws of remorse are restored 
Tell me again that you know what I'm thinking 
But vengeance belongs to the lord 
Tell me again when I'm clean and I'm sober 
Tell me again when I've seen through the horror 
Tell me again tell me over and over 
Tell me that you'll love me then 


Amen Amen Amen Amen 


Tell me again when the day has been ransomed 
And the night has no right to begin 
Try me again when the angels are panting 
And scratching at the door to come in 
Tell me again when I'm clean and I'm sober 
Tell me again when I've seen through the horror 
Tell me again tell me over and over 
Tell me that you'll need me then 


Amen Amen Amen Amen


Tell me again when the filth of the butcher 
Is washed in the blood of the lamb 
Tell me again when the rest of the culture 
Has passed through the eye of the camp
Tell me again when I'm clean and I'm sober 
Tell me again when I've seen through the horror 
Tell me again tell me over and over 
Tell me that you'll love me then 


Amen Amen Amen Amen
