I was a saint Born on a holy day I was a saint Forgot my own name, got my own name I was a saint I'll be just fine with my feet on the ground Breathing fire through my nose 'Cause I can't trust my eyes To see the shape of planes And sounds come at me like a flash in the light As my hands are about to break I was a saint Born on a holy day I was a saint Forgot my own name, got my own name I was a saint I lost track of time So long ago While people know when, Doesn't matter if you know Most of them just follow Watch as they breathe So hope down by the river now And they go back to sleep
