Cold War Kids lyrics : "PASSING THE HAT"

Look up from the hymnal, look 'round at the faces of families closing their eyes
We're taking Communion and passing the offering hat around at the same time


I reached for the hat and take all the cash
And slide it into my ragged coat sleeve
And leave in its place a note to explain

All of the reasons that stealing has led me to leave
If there was a worthy cause for to give to
May I be so bold as to say

The givers not knowing where their money's going
Is as sinful as throwing away


Stained glasses shine on my red wine
And the sweat of my brow drips to my shaking knees
A small sacrifice to benefit one man's journey away from America's seas


Sweet sweet sigh of relief
Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea

Sweet sweet sigh of relief
Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea
Sweet sweet sigh of relief

Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea

Nobody here knows my name

Call it right or wrong
I bought my ticket just the same
