Tell Me

Identical twins, biblical names.

One called Sacred the other Profane.

Brothers that shared the same father and mother,

They couldn’t tell the one from the other.

The one from the other.

He got to the point where he didn’t care.

Slept in the ditch and woke in a chair.

Scars on his hands and mud in his hair,

There’s mud in his hair.

Please will you tell me what to think?

My hopes in the gutter, my head is in the sink.

Please will you tell me what to say?

The shadows are creeping, please don’t go away.

Just let me say in my defence

I’ve made a decision, gonna sit on the fence

I’m through with this cowardice, I’ve shown it the door.

It’s just that I can’t face it no more.

Can’t face it no more.

Please will you tell me what to do?

Please can you show me how to be like you?

Please can you tell me what to feel?

Please can you tell me is this my last meal?

Oh trust in the Lord, His love never fails.

I reached for His hand there was blood on the nails.

I’ve lost my faith but I’m talking out loud

To a man with a beard who sits on a cloud.

He sits on the cloud.

Please tell them thanks for any love that I’ve won.

Please tell them sorry for all the harm that I’ve done.

Please will you tell me what to do?

Please can you show me how to be like you?

Please, please can you tell me?

Please, please just tell me.

Please, please just tell me.
