Feels like Im miles from here in other towns
With lesser names where
the unholy ghost doesnt 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
Youll just have to trust me
Im scared


I am the patron saint of lost causes
Are we all to you just near lost causes

Are we all to you just lost

Tell me youre left behind

Something youll mean everything right before you die
But if you gain the world
Youve already lost four little souls from your life

Widows and orphans arent hard to find
Their home is in daddy whos saving you random tonight
Wishing your drinking would hurry and kill you

Sympathys 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 causes


Billy, dont 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 cloth
Were not questioning God

Just those he chose to carry on his cause
Well grow better youll see
Just all of us the lost causes


Arent we all to you just lost causes
Arent we all to you lost

Lost causes
Arent we all to you
Is all we are, is all we are

What we are is all we are

Patron saints, are we all lost like you

Patron saints, are we all lost like you
Patron saints, are we all lost like you
Patron saints, are we all lost like you

Patron saints, are we all lost like you
(Lost causes, all we are is all we are)
Patron saints, are we all lost like you

(To you, lost)

Patron saints, are we all lost like you

Patron saints, are we all lost like you
Patron saints, are we all lost like you
