lyrics

I made a small mistake today
yes I made a small mistake today
and it cost you
it cost you
the world
I made a small mistake today

Well they all came 'round to pray
They all came around to pray
And one by one
they all went away
I made a small mistake today

The sentinels have sounded their horn
The sentinels have sounded their horn
The blinds have all been closed
as all the curtains drawn
and I don't think I'll last til' the dawn

There is no rope to carry the load
Left in a heap on the side of the road
Saturday fair all painted in frowns
Scattered debris that covers the ground

Open me up and show me around
Made a new life in a neighboring town
He made a call home on a rotary phone
The ringer was silent I was alone

The killer becomes the prey
The killer becomes the prey
The angels have soared so far away
No killer will be granted a stay

The pillars have crashed to the ground
The pillars have crashed to the ground
In 2 feet of water a hero had drown
And these were the last words
he wrote down

I made a small mistake today
I made a small mistake today
And it cost you the world
I made a small mistake today
