Lyrics Abraham - The Residents

Aching with hunger, we walked along
The road to a place that we knew
A place where our people did not belong
A place where our friends would be few

And as we were asking for food
He heard someone say he could tie
Fear found an opening in his eyes
And I heard him lie

Removing my ring
He led to the king
So that I could lie
Below his fat thighs

Yes, I heard him lie
Tasting of waste, decay, and disgrace
He lied to my face
As we embraced

Something strange surrounds me
Shifting in the sky
God is all around me
Entering my eyes

I know He needs a new kill
It's filling all the time
Something silent until
It springs out of my mind

Blood streaks around Him
Staring at the sky
Files are all around Him
Seeing in His eyes

He needs a make a new kill
He's filling all the time
Soft and silent around Him
Screams out of His mind

God is in me,
God is in me,
God is in me,
God is in me,

God,
God,
God,
God

First He told me to get a goat
And Cut it down the center
And then He said to find a turtle dove
A ram and maybe two more hens

After they were cut in half
He made me put them on the ground
A torch appeared without a sound
And then He told me, "Kill him! Kill him!"

Then He sent some angels to me
Saying I would have a son
I thought this was a strange arrangement
Again, He told me, "Kill him! Kill him!"

God said kill him
God said kill him
Blood is thick, but God is thicker
I am sick, but he is sicker

God says, "Die!"
So I must kill him,
Why does God want
To kill children?

Then he made me cut my penis
And then the manhood of my sons
When I said I can't believe it
Again, He told me, "Kill him! Kill him!"
