lyrics

There's a lesson we learn every Easter
Of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ
But those lessons are gone by September
When you're certain that God rolls the dice
And you can't keep your thumb on the button
At least not without paying the price

And here's to a passionate year

When I come to you in the evening
I can't keep my hands to myself
But your gold - it just slips through my fingers
I'm a prodigal son with your wealth
So let's lift up a glass with our old friends
And drink to good fortune and health

And here's to a passionate year
This time we'll light it right here
Let it burn inside me and not disappear

And let it bloom inside me
Like the way a flower grows
To help me keep what's beautiful alive
'Cause one pessimistic word from me
Will wither all its tender leaves
Let passion be my dignity
'Cause I don't want to die

There's a curse on this Calvinist country
We've conquered our joy with our guilt
And the salvation that comes from hard working
Is the foundation on which it was built
Would it help to remember the reason
That God sent his son to be killed?
