My Idols - Charity

Lately I’m on my knees bowing to a treasure

Clutching youth’s beauty, like it is forever

Somehow it’s clawing me alive from within

Taunts me with the fantasy that shamefully I chase

Soothes me with the lie that I can buy a pretty face

My idols, they lure me

I follow, will I ever learn?

My idols, they fool me

I wallow, will I ever learn?

Will I ever learn?

Pour me in cloth that’s thin, tight as your embrace

Flashing as shiny as the moon on Prior Lake

Draw me to see the silken life that you awake

Could I be at Baal’s feet a slave so chained and bound

I’ll be crawling painfully until I can knock down

My idols, they lure me

I follow, will I ever learn?

My idols, they fool me

I’m hollow, will I ever learn?

Will I ever learn?

They’re gonna have to burn

Gonna have to burn

Gonna have to burn

My idols, they lure me

I follow, will I ever learn?

My idols they lure me

Allure me, will I ever learn?

Oh, tell me my affection is wasted in deception

Fantasy, vanity, you are maimed

Oh Harlequin, oh Geisha

Don’t worship the deceiver
