Alive in the Septic Tank

[Verse 1]
I'll be your hired gun
The lump between your lungs
I'll be that hunk of moulded plastic
In Egyptian sun, and

[Refrain]
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope
I am fear

[Verse 2]
Beyond Mount Zion lies
A Southmere Lake high-rise
Where I wrote ten zillion words of Shakespeare
As they hit my white eyes

[Refrain]
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope (I am fear)
I am fear (Ooh)
I am hope
I am fear

[Chorus]
I'm in the falling rain
I'm in your early grave
I'm in the shit between where
Hell and Heaven look the same
I'm on the highest plane
I've died a thousand ways
I hang in limbo 'cause your
Saviour looked the other way

[Break]
Preach

[Verse 3]
As mortals we can try
And oh, good Lord, you'll try
But you can't ever offend everyone
All at the same time

[Refrain]
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope

[Chorus]
I'm in the falling rain
I'm in your early grave
I'm in the shit between where
Hell and Heaven look the same
I'm on the highest plane
I've died a thousand ways
I hang in limbo 'cause your
Saviours, they all look the same

[Bridge]
We all look the same (Same)
And we all judge the same (Same)
And we are bound to wind up lovers
'Cause we look the same
And we all fuck the same (Same)
And we'll all die the same (Same)
And in this finite cosmos
Best believe me when I say

[Refrain]
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope
I am fear
I am hope
