I thought I could hear an angel sing
My girlsaid, What? I can’t hear a thing!
It’s all in your head, you know what they say
God doesn’t answer unless you pray

Sins like mine
Are hard to forgive
My soul is too dark
This is no way to live
Sometimes at night spirits point at my shrine
They know there’s no pardon for sins like mine

Ashes to ashes and ruins to dust
There in the rubble lies long dead lust
We never make love, but sometimes we fight
At least there’s a spark in the dead of night

Sins like mine
Are hard to forgive
My soul is too dark
This is no way to live
Sometimes at night spirits point at my shrine
They know there’s no pardon for sins like mine

Salvation is hard unless you believe
The preacher says Jesus can’t be deceived
But love lies shattered like shards of glass
So you can’t help but curse during midnight mass

Sins like mine
Are hard to forgive
My soul is too dark
This is no way to live
Sometimes at night spirits point at my shrine
They know there’s no pardon for sins like mine
