World Of Strange Design Lyrics

(Verse)

Well you're not from around here

You're probably not our kind

It's hot from March to Christmas

And other things you'll find

(Verse)

Won't fit your old ideas

Their line is shifting sands,

You walk across a ghostly bridge

To a crumbling promise land

(Chorus)

If Jesus came from Mississippi

If tears began to rise

I guess I'll start at the beginning

The world of strange design

(Verse)

Well I'd like to have the ocean

But I'd settle for the rain

Humbly as for true love

There was such a price to pay

(Verse)

This room was filled with trouble

And sacraments deceived

And I'm with you, we're in the shade

Of his weeping willow tree

(Chorus)

If Jesus came from Mississippi

If tears began to rise

I'll have to go back to the beginning

In this world of strange design

(Verse)

We talk about your drinking

But not about your thirst

You set off through the mine field

Like you were round in first

(Verse)

So open up their window

And hand the baby through

Point up towards the ghostly bridge

And she'll know what to do

(Chorus)

If Jesus came from Mississippi

If tears began to rise

They'll have to go back to the beginning

In this world of strange design
