Song lyrics
Jesus, don't cry 
You can rely on me, honey 
You can come buy anything you want 
I'll be around 
You were right about the stars 
Each one is a setting sun 

Tall building shake 
Voices escape singing sad sad songs 
Tuned to chords, strung down your cheeks 
Bitter melodies, turning your orbit around 

Don't cry 
You can rely on me, honey 
You can come by any time you want 
I'll be around 
You were right about the stars 
Each one is a setting sun 

Tall buildings shake 
Voices escape singing sad sad songs 
Tuned to chords, strung down your cheeks 
Bitter melodies, turning your orbit around 

Voices whine 
Skyscrapers are scraping together 
Your voice is smoking 
Last cigarettes are all you can get 
Turning your orbit around 

Our love 
Our love 
Our love is all we have 
Our love 
Our love is all of God's money 
Everyone is a burning sun 

Tall buildings shake 
Voices escape singing sad sad songs 
Tuned to chords, strung down your cheeks 
Bitter melodies, turning your orbit around 

Voices whine 
Skyscrapers are scraping together 
Your voice is smoking 
Last cigarettes are all you can get 
Turning your orbit around 

Last cigarettes are all you can get 
Turning your orbit around 

Last cigarettes are all you can get 
Turning your orbit around

"Tall buildings shake/Voices escape singing sad sad songs/Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks/Bitter maladies turning your orbit around..."
Profound, evocative lyrics coupled with sweeping violins and hidden strings.
The verse about "God's money" can be interpreted as a commentary on human nature--i.e., our incessant greed. That tends to flame and flare up, hence the "burning sun" comparison.
