Verse 1

Jesus hangs behind the glass

Above venetian doors

His window box boasts crimson flowers fresh cut the day before

And you couldn't find a smile

If you nailed it to his face

But Jesus Christ hangs his head with grace

Chorus

 And if Venice is sinking

I'm going under

'Cause beauty's religion

 And its Christened me with wonder

Verse 2

They come in bent-backed

Creeping 'cross the floor all dressed in black

Candles, thick as pillars, you can buy one off the floor

And the ceiling's painted gold

Mary's hair is red

The old come here to kiss their dead

(chorus)

Bridge

Verse 3

We made love on a bed

That sagged down to the floor

In a room that had a postcard on the door

Of Mirini's (sp?) Little Man

With an erection on a horse

It always leaves me laughing, leaves me feeling that, of course if

(Chorus)

Yesterday, I submitted the chords for "If Venice is Sinking" by

Spirit of the West. I noticed, after sending it out, that the

chords in the chorus are wrong. The chorus should be:

 And if Venice is sinking

I'm going under

'Cause beauty's religion

( - - - - )

And it's Christened me with wonder
