St. Thomas from Dice Cup by Raymond Little

St. Thomas

I see the light, it’s comin soon.
I’m comin back to life, silly, buy me balloons.
I know just where I live why do I miss the turn
they’re the loveliest couple I know,
I got a lot to learn.
Yeah, Yeah.
I got all these temptations that I just can’t refuse,
My friends, the sun, cigarettes, music, and booze.
There’s just a few that I should loose.
Like her.
She makes my dance, she makes me mean,
she drives me crazy, yeah, she’s my little nicotine.
and I’m her fiend.

I can’t play Jesus but you’ll be St. Thomas
believe when you see it, I’m quitting, I promise.
Driving nails into my hands
I must be breathing again.

I turned her down and there she lay,
she looked me in the eyes and I said okay.
Just one more then you go away.
And she said, “How can you do this to me?
I do nothing but keep your lonely heart company.”
Yeah, whatever.

I can’t play Jesus but you’ll be St. Thomas
believe when you see it, I’m quitting, I promise.
Driving nails into my hands
I must be breathing again.

I can’t play Jesus but you’ll be St. Thomas
I can’t play Jesus but you’ll be St. Thomas
I can’t play Jesus but you’ll be St. Thomas
believe when you see it, I’m quitting, I promise.
