He made an enemy then, he made an enemy of all of you, it's him, not you
You never heard it from me but there's a breach in the hull where the truth and the water's too deep to prove
He made an enemy then, he made an enemy of all of you, it's him, not you
It's a little red sea let the miracle worker go free
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down
And the paddle go up and the paddle go down
And the paddle go up and the paddle go down
And the man falls in the sea

He was a man of many nations, had a hundred souls and a hundred to go
He was a man of many nations, two hearts, two hands, it's a slippery slope
He had a fear of being naked, but you're any other man in another man's clothes
He was a man of many nations, with revelations, oh revelations
He wrote a book about the Bible and he, he wrote a book about men in the sky
He wrote a book about the smell of winter in two, a little less simple to decipher
Saying, “I am the water at the foot of the palms or I am sand and wind and a shitty mirage
but either way, I'm a man of many nations!”

Was it the mending of the gown, or the running it around?
Was it the mending of the gown, or the running, and the running it around?

She had a name, she had a spirit, she had a line in the play if you waited to hear it
But a master of disguises, her demise was her design, they said
Was it the mending of the gown, or the running, and the running, and the running it around?
She said my name and my spirit are both corrupt and if you hold me close, you gotta hold me up
It was the tender mending of this slender gown that brought me bending to the ground
Now you'll wear any old thing, oh you'll wear any old thing
So she left herself in swallowing up the fever to the air to a broken wing
It's an act, I think she's just pretending, it's an act, I think, she's just pretending
If you burn the virgin flags, then I will shake, (shake!) as the heat waves in the sand
This one's for Maggie (This one's for Maggie) this one's for Sam (This one's for Sam)
This one's for Maggie (This one's for Maggie) this one's for Sam (This one's for Sam)
Or any other random spirit lover busted, I have lusted after you
The way bloodsuckers do, the way bloodsuckers do, the way bloodsuckers do!

Was it the mending of the gown, or the running it around?
Was it the mending of the gown, or the running and the running and the running and the running it around?
It was the tender mending of this slender gown that brought me bending to the ground
But this ship was built to go down
See the paddle go up and the paddle go down!
And the paddle go up and the paddle go down!
And the paddle go up and the paddle go down!
And the paddle go up and the paddle go down!
