Текст песни: The Rope + перевод

Why’re you trying to impress when you pray

Do you fear you’ll be critted by God?

How many things can go on in a day

That you stay on your knees so long?

Are you praying for the poor and the dying

Or the drought-stricken starving for rain?

Are you asking why it hurts when you smile?

Are you thankful for the pain?

I have sat through your church service

Listening for a word that I could embrace

Staring into the preacher’s eye

Searching for a soul behind the face

Do your angels keep you waiting?

How much longer can you cope?

There’s a quicker way to heaven

If you can find yourself a rope

I have walked through your old streets

Looking for the life you threw away

When you sold your sight at the setting sun

Was it too high a price to pay?

Pray for the saints and the sinners

Under blue skies crying in the rain

Ever wonder why it hurts when you smile?

Are you tired of the pain?

Do your angels keep you waiting?

How much longer can you cope?

I can pull you up to heaven

If you can find yourself a rope
