Lyrics
[Verse 1]
God, give me strength to recover
God, give me strength, overcome
God, put together something good for me
That can't be undone
Hand on the good book, survival
Hand shading eyes from the sun
Hand in hand, down that dirty road
We can't be undone, no it's number 1
[Verse 2]
How many times, and how many crimes?
No pill to break the fever
How many more will walk through the door?
Turn doubter to believer
When you're alone, say a little prayer for me
[Verse 3]
Hey there, Mr. Pilot
Will you fly me to your hill?
And I will start the riots
I will teach them how to kill
When we finally get to heaven
Absolved of all our sin
We will know how many angels, on the head of a pin
[Verse 4]
Prayed, like I thought I was dyin'
Prayed when I didn't believe
Prayed all the time on that dirty road
With no reprieve
Faith, drug of choice for the sinner
Hope was the reason outdone
Trust in me, we are hand in hand
We can't be undone, be undone
[Verse 5]
How many times, and how many crimes?
No pill to break the fever
How many more will walk through the door?
Turn doubter to believer
When you're alone, say a little prayer for me
[Verse 6]
Hey there, Mr. Pilot
Can you fly me to your hill?
And I will start the riots
I will teach them how to kill
When we finally get to heaven
Absolved of all our sin
We will know how many angels, on the head of a
[Verse 7]
Low, fast, and mean, we were killing the dream
Came the roar of the pipes and a banshee scream
And man held stop, didn't know what he mean
So we burned all by, we were singing mean green
[Verse 8]
Everybody said that they knew him well
He was a man of God, but you really couldn't tell
If the deal was real, or if the angel fell
We were singing mean green on the way to Hell
[Verse 9]
Tear this place to the ground
Stone and dust lay all around
Don't say exactly where you been
Dance with the angels on the head of a pin
[Verse 10]
Hey there, Mr. Pilot
Will you fly me to your hill?
And I will start the riots
I will teach them how to kill
When we finally get to heaven
Absolved of all our sin
We will know how many angels, on the head of a pin
On the head of a pin
On the head of a pin
On the head of a pin
