==Lyrics==
Now I love all the seven deadly sins 
I love to watch them smile on the celebrity smile show 
You know that's the show where everybody wins 
a fabulous tour of the hell they already know 
and some people know how to trap the light 
like a bird in flight traps the sun 
Some keep their lump of coal safely out of sight 
thinking that one day it'll turn into a diamond

If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep - 
a pedal steel guitar simple and clean - 
if I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep 
maybe you'd hear it all through your dream

Now altar boys look good in lace 
but they're not known for their guts or their good nature 
Goodness is not some pretty picture you paint 
It's shaking your fist into the face of danger

If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep - 
sleep is the only gift that they give you - 
If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep 
maybe you'll have a dream you want to come true

Some saviors weep and weep 
and they think their tears are gonna sew the world together 
Some saviors live in trouble deep 
and die knowing nothing more than failure

If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep - 
maybe it could save you 
if I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep 
maybe it would save you
