lyrics

Temptation it was, a rock in a glove
the story I made , the news paper weighed

A ton of love, but that was the way
I made up my face, and gave it away, and gave it away,

What Jesus said was, go speak with a child
The newspaper weighed, a lamp on a grave

Yes talk with a child, he’ll explain to you why
The tears on your face, the stone and the mud

Yes talk to me child, the TV is crying
But I made a brave face, yes make a brave face

the news paper weighs, a ton of love
I make up my face, and gave it away, and gave it away,
