Thought they had it on me
But the truth it lay upon me
Like the Mississippi River runs
I don't know what happened
I was acting on my passion
Wearing latest fashions I
Like a gambler I can't hide my debts
Pardon me if I forget what
You can't hold that against me man
Fire and brimstone pave the way
Hold hands together everyday
Nothing left to do but pray and
put your head in the sand
Sin ners and the preachers
Which one is the bad news man
Screaming turns to salt and dust
Bible beaters rest your fists
You're on Revelation Road
Grab your little passbooks
One Hail Mary does the trick
forgive of all your sin s
And when the show is over
You're where you started from
Collecting all the barbs you threw piled
Judgement comes and never tires
Doing unto others is a far ce,
Remember when the black veil falls
Barefeet on the gravel man
