Jesus Christ Pose (Live At Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, Rapid City, SD / 1993) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
Like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me
I would never feed you pain
But you're staring at me

[Chorus]
Like I, like I'm driving nails
Saved, saved, saved
In your Jesus Christ pose
Jesus Christ pose

[Verse 2]
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud
Like it's the coming of the lord
And I swear to you
I would never feed you pain
But you're staring at me

[Chorus]
Like I'm, like I'm driving the nails, nails
Like I'm driving the nails, nails
Like I'm driving the nails, nails
Nails, nails, nails, nails
Nails, nails
In your Jesus Christ pose
Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud
It's the coming of the lord
Would it pain you more to walk on water
Than to wear a crown of thorns?
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you fucking rich

[Chorus]
Than to bury you poor
Poor

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
