Some have crosses bells that ring |
| [00:16.23] |
|
| [00:17.42] |
Most have angels painted with wings |
| [00:19.67] |
|
| [00:20.60] |
Old men and blind ones can find their way in |
| [00:23.14] |

Got statues and apostles and other godly things |
| [00:27.30] |
|
| [00:33.97] |
In desserts they build them of mortar and clay |
| [00:36.47] |
|
| [00:37.35] |
In barrios they stick them by fire escapes |
| [00:40.59] |
They outlast the setbacks of earthquakes and plagues |
| [00:43.97] |
They burn them like haystacks and another one is raised |
| [00:47.34] |
In the backwoods of the country and the empire state |
| [00:49.97] |
|
| [00:50.66] |
Wherever there's somebody at the crossroads that waits |
| [00:53.59] |
|
| [00:54.28] |
At the junction of right now and a little too late |
| [00:57.55] |
You'll see one before you with wide open gates |
| [01:00.10] |
|
| [01:00.98] |
It's a hospital for sinners ain't no museum of saints |
| [01:04.72] |
|
| [01:11.47] |
There could be a casket bums on the steps |
| [01:14.66] |
A baby in a basket being left |
| [01:17.15] |
|
| [01:18.09] |
It's a good place to shuffle when you've gone through the deck |
| [01:21.40] |
It's the closest to heaven on earth you can get |
| [01:24.15] |
|
| [01:24.84] |
It's a shelter a poor man it'll humble a great |
| [01:28.21] |
It's where derelicts and outlaws can hide for a day |
| [01:31.67] |
The worst hearts you've known can be salvaged and saved |
| [01:35.11] |
In the room that same lovers' vows are exchanged |
| [01:37.81] |
|
| [01:38.61] |
It's a hospital for sinners ain't no museum of saints |
| [01:42.24] |
|
| [01:50.93] |
You'll sin till you drop |
| [02:14.19] |
Then ask to be saved |
| [02:19.07] |
If it's a comeback you want |
| [02:22.76] |
Then get your hands raised |
| [02:26.12] |
There's more than a few on nearly every map |
| [02:29.88] |
More than a couple alone on this path |
| [02:33.00] |
You ought to be in one when you beg your way back |
| [02:36.37] |
Cut off at the knees at its feet you'll collapse |
| [02:39.81] |
It's a hospital for sinners ain't no museum of saints |
| [02:46.57] |
It's a hospital for sinners ain't no museum of saints |
