Unbiblical Leonard Cohen

I thought I'd get away
But now I have to stay
I think I'd better say:
As usual

It wasn't up to me
I heard the stern decree
I wasn't meant to be
That beautiful

Some people catch the bus
They're luckier than us
In spite of all the fuss
They're credible

They want to get on board
They don't like to be ignored
They're children of the lord
They're terrible

You've heard this all before
I had some but they had more
I was rotten to the core
But merciful

And that was my mistake
I didn't kill the snake
I gave the snake a break
