and all the special pleasures
of doing something wrong

and could you stand the torture
and could you stand the pain
and could you put your faith in jesus
when you're burning in the flames
i said yes

and i want to save my soul
and i know that i am a sinner
i'm gonna die here in the cold

i thought i heard an angel cry
i thought i saw a teardrop falling from his eye

but he stirred up herod's hate
and salome got her wish
to have him served up on a plate


i said yeah
i said yeah

oh yeah, oh yeah
you'll never make a saint of me
i thought i heard an angel cry


i thought i saw a teardrop falling from his eye
i thought i saw an angel cry
you'll never make a saint of me
you'll never make a saint of me
