We sat in the pew, folded our hands in the name of “God and Truth”
Their words rang out like a clanging gong from the pulpit on 23rd Avenue
You know how it is when you’re just 18 and the temptation presents
Did that really mean we were too far gone for salvation‘s expense?
Search my heart O God, you know my anxious thoughts
Here I am all alone in this place where I can’t even be myself
What if they find out I’m nothing like them?
What if they find out I’m a fake?
And can it be that you still love me and I know that I can’t change
I can’t change God, I can’t change
You know how it is when you’re just 18 and the temptation presents
Did that really mean we were too far gone for salvation‘s expense?
You know how it is when you wear your heart dripping all over your sleeve
Did that really mean we were too far gone for salvation‘s expense?
They were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
On 23rd Avenue
They were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
They were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
They were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
They were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
Were the tongues of men, not really angels
On 23rd Avenue
