Feels like you're miles from here,
In other towns with even lesser names
Where the unholy ghost doesn't tell
Mary or William exactly what they want to hear.
You remember the house on Ridge Road,
Told you and the Devil to both just leave me alone
If this is salvation, I can show you the trembling
You will just have to trust me
I'm scared
I am the patron saint of lost causes
Aren't we all to you just mere lost causes?
Tommy, you left behind something that
Will mean everything right before you die
What if you gained the whole world?
You have already lost four little souls from your life.
Widows and orphans aren't hard to find
They're home missing daddy who's saving the world tonight
Wish your drink would hurry and kill you
Sympathy seems better than having to tell you the truth
That you are the patron saint of lost causes
All you are to them is a lost cause
All you are to them is now, causes
Billy don't you understand?
Timothy stood as long as he could and now you made his faith disappear
More like a magician and less like a man of the cloth
We're not questioning God
Just those he chose to carry on his cross
We're no better you'll see
Just all of us the lost causes
Aren't we all to you just lost causes?
Are we all to you lost?
