Lyrics Saviour in the City - Nicolas Ker

Saviour in the country, learned a few trades
Now the angel's asking, "Am I already dead?
My senses become numb, my nerves are shot
I spread my wings upon an empty parking lot"

Saviour never talks now, he never smiles
He wanders 'round for miles and miles
Saviour in the country
Packs his bag and his gun and his toothbrush
Burns the fields and the barn and the house down
Then runs on straight to the city gates

Now the neons crawl across his brain
And the city grabs his hand
To throw him down under the pouring rain
To starve upon the pavement sands

Oh, someone please take him back home
He can't stand it anymore
For his soul is on fire
And his heart is a hole

He wants to go back home
Home
Home
Home

You can never go home again
But you've grown a better man
You can never go home again
But you've grown a better man
You can never go home again
Never, never, never, never
Never, never go home again
