The Rolling Stones Saint Of Me

Saint paul the persecutor

Was a cruel and sinful man

Jesus hit him with a blinding light

And then his life began

Augustin knew temptation

He loved women, wine and song

And all the special pleasures

Of doing something wrong

Oh yeah, oh yeah

And could you stand the torture

And could you stand the pain

Could you put your faith in jesus

When youre burning in the flames


And I do believe in miracles

And I want to save my soul

And I know that Im a sinner

Im gonna die here in the cold

I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye


John the baptist was a martyr

But he stirred up herods hate

And salome got her wish

To have him served up on a plate

I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye
