Cold War Kids Passing The Hat Lyrics

Look up from the hymn
Look 'round at the faces
All families closing their eyes

We're taking communion
And passing the offerin'
Hat around, at the same time.

I reach for the hat
And take all the cash
And slide it into my ragged coat sleeve
And leave in it's place
A note to explain
All of the reasons the spirit 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 is throwing away

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

Sweet, sweet sign of relief
Sweet, sweet oh, Baltic Sea
Sweet, sweet sign of relief
Sweet, sweet oh, Baltic Sea
Sweet, sweet sign of relief
Sweet, sweet oh, Baltic Sea

Nobody here knows my name
Call it right or wrong
I bought my ticket just the same
