the garden of gethsemane

they're wailin' at a wall
they're walkin' 'round a stone
in a cold churchyard it rains

and the masters sit at tables
waiting for someone who is able
to sell their dreams

welcome to the garden
welcome to the garden
we've got opium and wine
we'll make you feel fine
welcome to the garden of gethsemane

leave your flesh at the door
you won't be needin' it anymore
find a place down there on the floor
welcome to the garden of gethsemane

jesus christ is on his knees
he prays to a god that only he see's
i got angels crawling all over me
down in the garden of gethsemane

i feel the poppies twist around my thighs
the darkness carries the distant cries
you can see the future in the serpents' eyes
welcome to the garden of gethsemane

here come the soldiers over the hill
they're flashin' daggers in their hands
they got silver and gold for the traitor man
oh! welcome to the garden of gethsemane

slow it all down
slow it all down
let's see him kiss his face
they say that's the fall of the human race
we've all been bought and sold again
down in the garden of gethsemane

they're wailin' at a wall
they're waikin' 'round a stone
in a cold churchyard it rains

and the masters sit at tables
waiting for someone who is able
to sell their dreams

welcome to the garden
welcome to the garden
we got opium and wine
and we'll make you feel so fine
welcome to the garden of gethsemane
welcome to the garden of gethsemane
welcome to the garden of gethsemane
