The day we met we were so young
But now we're growing old
Because of what I've done
Because of what I was told
The creature in you decided to show its milky teeth
And I cannot bear to break them
Just pray for me, you atheist
Open your mouth, you ventriloquist
Before you go away
Before you go away
There's always something new to say about the same old glory
We live in yesterday though our friends are worried
And our time will come to knock
But no one will be there to share the shadow
Just pray for me, you atheist
Open your mouth, you ventriloquist
Before you go away
Before you go away
Just pray for me, you atheist
Open your mouth, you ventriloquist
Before you go away
Before you go away
Before you go away
Before you go away
Before you go away
Before you go away
