Lyrics

Feels like I'm miles from here in other towns
With lesser names where the only ghost doesn't tell
Mary or william exactly what they want to hear
You remember the house that we drew
Told you and the devil to both just leave me alone
If this is salvation I can show you the trembling
You'll just have to trust me
I'm scared

I am the patron saint of lost causes
Aren't we all to you just mere lost causes
Are we all to you just lost?

Tommy you're left behind
Something you'll mean everything right before you die
But if you gain the whole world
You've already lost four little souls from your life
Widows and orphans aren't hard to find
Their home missing daddy who's saving the abandoned tonight
Wish your drinking would hurry and kill you
Sympathy's better than having to tell you the truth

That you are the patron saint of lost causes
All you are to them is now a lost cause
All you are to them is now cause lost…

Billy, don't you understand?
Timothy stood as long as he could and now
You made his faith disappear
More like a magician
And less like a man of the call
We're not questioning god
Just those he chose to carry on his cause
We'll grow better, you'll see
Just all of us, the lost causes

Aren't we all to you just lost causes?
Aren't we all to you lost?
Lost causes
Aren't we all to you
Is all we are, is all we are
What we are is all we are

Choir:
Patron saint. are we all lost like you?
They just saved all of the lost, like you
(Lost causes, we are is all we are)
Patron saint. are we all lost like you?
(To you, lost causes)
Patron saint. are we all lost like you?
He just saved
