We are what we were Lyrics

I let my lover in, so we can somewhat sin

Oh it makes us shine brighter

And as I touch her hand, I've cause to understand

That this could only make us lighter

We are what we were

And we shine like we shone

And in this paradise, we banish God and Christ

And pray to something somewhat surer

We bit the hand that fed, and so the wealthy fled

That left us somewhat poorer

We are what we were

And we shine like we shone

I let my lover in, so we can somewhat sin

Oh it makes us shine brighter

And as I touch her hand, I've cause to understand

That this could only make us lighter

We are what we were

And we shine like we shone

And in this paradise, we banish God and Christ

And pray to something somewhat surer

We bit the hand that fed, and so the wealthy fled

That left us somewhat poorer

We are what we were

And we shine like we shone

We are what we were

And we shine like we shone
