Carols of My Mind

by Elliott Skinner

Lyrics
Amen
I'm nothing but a man
I'm nothing but a man
I'm nothing but a man
What do you want?
What do you want it for?
Where do you go?
What are you running from?
What do you call
When you're fed up with it all?
What do you need?
What do you need it for
When you're alone?
When will you be your own?
Keep on, keep on
When you're fed up with it all
What do you know?
What is your premonition?
Before we go
Before the sun eclipse
How can you sit
When you're caught up in it all?
Where do you fall?
Where is it coming from?
You want it all
Without the recognition
Before you know
You won't wind up with it all
Will there be swords or wings
That grow? This sort of thing
Makes you just the trust the fall
Couldn't make luck before
Rest without feeling alarmed
Some parts are not your job
Who made you pick a poison?
I'll wash the feet of Judas
This spotless, dirty heart
Who made me want it all?
Who made me want what's yours?
Who ill-advised my honest?
I had no regard, no safety net
But you had me guarded
Don't make my name a God
Who cares what I did loud
Let's see who hit the target
Learned the ways that you talk
Surprised at how you respond
Graveyards you turned to gardens
The world costs 30 dollars
But it's not worth the bargain
Who made me want it all?
