Lyrics for Jesus Almost Got Me

There is a keyhole in my can of beer And there's an eye behind it Sizing me up and sizing me down And my hangover's becoming a thorny crown And dawn is coming over me Love is cruel Love is truly absurd Jesus almost got me I don't know how many prayers he overheard There's no relief in the garden The morning birds are like nerves The hand of the man that stilled the water The hand that calmed the sea Is pouring a drink for me Love is cruel Love is truly absurd Jesus almost got me I don't know how many prayers he overheard Love is cruel Love is truly absurd Jesus almost got me I don't know how many prayers he overheard
